Hello,

This is a great recipe but I have to ask, why is the red velvet crinkle and peppermint crinkle so different in terms of ingredients? I assumed they would be the same base recipe but one calls for oil and the other calls for earth balance vegan butter. They also both have different measurements for cocoa powder. Is there a reason for this? Thanks.

SHUT UP! These are AMAZING! I made them half-sized so I can eat two rather than one. Other than that, I just followed the recipe exactly. Thanks for the recipe. These are definitely going to be one of my family's Christmas traditions.

I made them and they tasted like heaven. I just have one question, every time I bake them, the sugar on top kinda melts and they don’t look so white and nice. Is there any thing I’m doing wrong? Or any tips so this doesn’t happen again? Thank you!

Hi Sarah, help! Wanted to replace applesauce with flax seed powder but what will be quantity of flaxseed powder for 3/4th cup of applesauce?

In reply to Connie. I don't recommend it as it's much softer and has a lower melting point. Can you find vegan butter in a tub? That would be your next best option.

I have a hard time finding vegan butter sticks in my area. Would coconut oil work in these cookies?

These cookies were amazing. If you bake them for 11 minutes, take them out when they’re not done fully, they’re so good. Perfectly crispy, but not hard or burnt, on the outside, and perfectly light and chewy, but not underdone, on the inside. Adding granulated sugar before the powdered sugar really helped pick up way more powdered sugar.

These were amazing! Big hit with my whole family. Instead of White Chocolate Chips I used Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate because White Chocolate is not Chocolate and I love my Chocolate! Ha ha! I can't wait to try a Lemon version of this for summertime!

Am I able to freeze some after they are baked? Some friends won’t be getting these until a week after baked. Advice?

This is a terrific recipe. I got a full three dozen out of it. I also blended this recipe with My Darling Vegan's Chocolate Peppermint Crinkle Cookies recipe and made Red Velvet Peppermint Crinkle Cookies! I used this recipe but added 1 tsp of mint extract, reduced the white chocolate chips to 3/4 of a cup, and added 2 TBL of crushed candy canes. They're fantastic! Real show stoppers! Thank you! 😀

In reply to Paula. Yes, I think that would work. Sound adorable!

Hi Sarah, these look fantastic. I have a recipe that was given to me (not vegan) for "Grinch crinkle Cookies" of course they are green. Do you think that this batter would work for green food paste? Then you "glue" with a sugar paste a red heart on the cookie once it is baked. thank you love all your recipes

In reply to SUNflowa Soul. Yes, it won't make them as red and I'm not sure how much you would need but I imagine you could find other red velvet recipes that use beet juice to get an idea.

Greeting, do you think I can use beet juice for the red dye in place of the dye that you have?

In reply to Stacy. I've learned (from reader's comments) that the redness really depends on the brand of food coloring. I think red food gel actually works the best for most people. Here is the brand I recommend.
