Vegan / Vegetarian
How can you not love chocolate cookies rolled in powdered sugar and baked until they’re perfectly chewy? How if we make a healthier version without the slightest change in taste and flavor? That would make it even perfect, right?
That’s actually what we are doing on this recipe, this is a make-over healthier version of chewy chocolate crinkles and I call it Choco-Beets Crinkles. And would you believe it’s vegan and vegetarian too?
