Gluten Free, Dairy Free and Vegan Creme Egg Cookies.
Recently I made some epic free from Creme Egg Cookies, inspired by the talented Jane’s Patisserie.
Although they were gluten free and dairy free, the recipe contained egg – so they weren’t vegan! Therefore, I have baked another batch which are completely vegan as well as being free from gluten and dairy too!
Each cookie contains a whole creme egg in the centre, surrounded by a crispy, chewy cookie dough and chocolate chips. They are DELICIOUS!
Ingredients
- 4 Vegan Creme Eggs (I used Mummy Meagz ‘Chuckie Eggs’)
- 115g DF Butter
- 125g Light Brown Sugar
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 220g GF Plain Flour
- 1 Tsp GF Baking 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 160 degrees Celcius (fan) / 180 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.
Once combined, add in the vanilla extract.
Next, sift in the flour and baking 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 10-12 minutes (or until the cookies are golden brown).
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!
The Vegan Creme eggs that I used are Mummy Meagz ‘Chuckie Eggs’. They are suitable for vegetarians, vegans and are gluten free too. Believe me when I say they are the perfect substitute!
I look forward to seeing your creations!
