Tips:

  • Chill the Cookie Dough: Chilling the cookie dough will help it keep its shape and prevent it from spreading too much. For best results, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Use Parchment Paper: Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper will help prevent the cookies from sticking and make them easier to remove.
  • Bake the Cookies Until the Edges are Golden Brown: The cookies should be baked until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the Cookies Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help prevent them from breaking.
  • Store the Cookies in an Airtight Container: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cookies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Mexican crinkle cookies are a delicious and festive treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for any occasion, from birthday parties to holiday gatherings. With their crispy edges and chewy centers, these cookies are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give Mexican crinkle cookies a try!
