A few months ago I discovered foodgawker, what a amazing site/app. I’m so additive it not funny! It a really great platform to discover new recipes. One the first receipts that caught my eye was crinkle cookies. I have never heard or see anything like these on this side of the pond. So when I saw Red Velvet Crinkles by Bake Happy, I new I had a winner. This are fudge-like, chewy cookies and really do draw people in! I bakes these for a bake sale a while ago and so popular. I make few minor modification to the recipes as I did not vinegar (only malt vinegar) so I used lemon juice and vanilla bean paste but extract is fine, whichever you prefer.
