Gluten Free and Dairy Free Double Chocolate Creme Egg Cookies.
These have to be the most epic (and indulgent) cookies I have baked to date.
Each cookie contains a whole creme egg in the centre, surrounded by a moist chocolate cookie dough and chocolate chips. They are DELICIOUS!
The Vegan Creme eggs that I used are Mummy Meagz ‘Chuckie Eggs’. They are suitable for vegetarians, vegans and are gluten free too. It was my first time trying these creme eggs, and believe me when I say they are the perfect substitute!
Ingredients
- 4 Vegan Creme Eggs (I used Mummy Meagz ‘Chuckie Eggs’)
- 120g DF Butter
- 150g Light Brown Sugar
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Medium Egg
- 230g GF Plain Flour
- 10g Cornflour
- 40g Cocoa Powder
- 200g DF Chocolate Chips
Instructions
Put the Creme Eggs in the freezer and leave for a few hours.
Line a large baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celcius (fan).
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.
Once combined, add in the vanilla extract and the egg. Mix again until the mixture is smooth.
Next, sift in the flour, cornflour, cocoa powder and mix until combined.
Add in the chocolate chips and fold into the mixture.
Wrap the cookie dough in cling film and place in the fridge for an hour.
Using a metal spoon, scoop a large tablespoon of cookie dough onto the baking tray and press down slightly. Add one of the frozen creme eggs into the centre of the cookie dough. Take another scoop of cookie dough and place it over the top of the creme egg (you want to make sure you completely cover the creme egg with cookie dough).
Repeat the process with the rest of the mixture, and be sure to keep space between each cookie (just in case they spread).
In total, you should have 4 (pretty large) cookies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Leave the cookies to cool for at least 30 minutes (before eating) as this will allow the creme egg to set in the centre.
Enjoy!
I look forward to seeing your creations!
