Whisky Crinkle Cookies

Updated: May 27, 2022

A delicious balance of flavours in these moreish crinkle cookies.

These cute cookies are affectionately known as crinkle cookies because of their lovely crevasses and cracks.


I tried really hard to get a good balance of punchy whisky flavour while making them palatable for even the most ardent whisky haters. Well, I think I achieved it!

They're honestly so, so simple (as you can see from the video!) Just mix everything together, bung in the freezer for 10 minutes, then bake for 20 or so minutes.


And why, may you ask, did I land on whisky? Well, it just so happens to be whisky day this coming weekend and it inspired me to be creative.


You can also find my whisky-filled Cranachan cupcakes to fulfil your World Whisky Day desires here.
