Eggless Chocolate crinkle cookies summary:
Flax meal: Ground flax seeds is known as flax meal and used in this recipe as egg replacer. Since this is egg free version, this is one of the main ingredients, do not skip it.
Cocoa powder: I used Dutch processed un-sweetened cocoa powder, but any un-sweetened cocoa powder should work.
Butter: Melted un-salted butter is used. Doesn’t equal to ghee.
Sugar powder: Powdered white granulated sugar in mixer. I avoided icing sugar as it generally have corn starch. Recommend to use the same.
Mix sugar, butter, vanilla, flax meal and milk in one bowl. Sieve rest of the ingredients and add to the wet ingredients. Bake at 175 Deg C for 14 mins.
