Fudgey chocoaltely brownie cookies, with crushed mini eggs just in time for Easter. For a dairy-free version, swap out the mini eggs for a dairy-free chocolate chip or other mix-in for a super yummy df fudge brownie cookie (the cookie dough itself is df).
Makes 18-20 large cookies
Here's what you'll need:
-2 eggs
-100g or dark , melted
-168g of coconut oil (about 3/4c)
-180g of coconut sugar (about 1c)
-1 tsp of vanilla
-80g of gluten free flour blend (we used a combo of tapioca, millet & sorghum, but Bob's 1-to-1 would work well too!)
-1/8tsp xanthan gum, if your gf flour doesn't already contain it.
-1tsp of salt
-1/2tsp baking soda
-1/2tsp baking powder
-200g bag of mini eggs*, crushed with a rolling pin (it's much easier than trying to chop them with a knife - just put them in a ziplock bag, and smash them up)
*to make these cookies 100% dairy-free, just swap out the mini eggs for a df chocolate chip or other mix-in. The cookie dough itself is already df.
How to Make Them:
Preheat your oven to 350F.
Using a handmixer, or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat together the wet ingredients (melted chocolate, coconut oil, coconut sugar, eggs and vanilla).
In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients (gf flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda), then add to wet.
Add mini eggs (or another mix-in), and mix until combined.
Scoop onto a parchment lined try and slightly press the cookies down. I love to use the red# 24 cookie scoop*
Bake at 350F for 11 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before enjoying.
Enjoy!! And let us know if you try these, or a variation on them (different mix-ins, or try to veganize them, etc). We'd love to know how they turn out.

*If you're looking for cookie scoops, I love these ones because it's one piece so they don't get water stuck in them when you wash them like the 2-piece scoops - which then drips out into your next recipe - gross! Or you have to disassemble them every time you use them. The one-piece ones are so much better!!) https://amzn.to/3SZvkiZ
