What Are Krinkle Cookies?

Krinkle cookies are soft, brownie-like cookies rolled in powdered sugar before baking. As they bake, the dough spreads and cracks, creating the signature crinkled (or “krinkle”) pattern on top.

They’re known for:

  • A soft, fudgy interior
  • Lightly crisp edges
  • Rich chocolate or flavored dough
  • A snowy powdered-sugar coating
  • Their beautiful crackled appearance

In Filipino bakeries, krinkle cookies are a staple — especially during holidays, celebrations, and family gatherings.
