Crinkle cookies are cake-like cookies that are chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Quite often, powdered sugar is used to enhance their cracked appearance.
The original cookies were chocolate flavored invented by Helen Fredell in St. Paul, Minnesota in the early part of the 20th Century.
Today, variations of the traditional crinkle cookie include lemon, fudge, vanilla and mint.
