Preparation time: 15 minutes
Chilling time: 60 minutes
Baking time: 10–12 minutes
Servings: Approximately 18 cookies
Ingredients
-
220g all-purpose flour
-
120g unsalted butter, softened
-
150g granulated sugar
-
1 large egg
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
¼ tsp salt
-
40g granulated sugar for rolling
-
60g icing sugar for coating
Instructions
Step 1 – Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Step 2 – Add the Prickly Pear Powder
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and Prickly Pear Powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft pink dough forms.
Step 3 – Chill the Dough
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes. This helps the cookies maintain their shape and creates the perfect crinkle texture.
Step 4 – Shape the Cookies
Preheat your oven to 175°C.
Roll the chilled dough into small balls, approximately 25–30g each.
Roll each ball first in granulated sugar, then generously in icing sugar to create the signature crackled coating.
Step 5 – Bake
Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with baking paper, leaving space between each one.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centres remain slightly soft.
Step 6 – Cool and Enjoy
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Enjoy your beautiful pink cookies with coffee, tea or your favourite latte!
Tips for Perfect Pink Crinkle Cookies
-
Chill the dough: This prevents excessive spreading and helps achieve beautiful cracks.
-
Use plenty of icing sugar: A generous coating creates the classic crinkle appearance.
-
Avoid overbaking: Slightly soft centres give the cookies their delicious chewy texture.
-
Experiment with colour: Adjust the amount of prickly pear powder to achieve your preferred pink shade. Natural pigments can change during baking.
-
Add extra flavour: Lemon zest, vanilla or white chocolate can complement the fruity notes of prickly pear.
