Gluten free cadbury egg cookies sit on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Crumbs and pieces of Cadbury mini eggs are scattered around the cookies, and a cookie cut in half sits on top of one of the cookies so you can see the texture. It is chewy and doughy inside. Next to the baking sheet is a cookie scoop filled with cookie dough.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup salted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 ½ cups high quality gluten free flour I used Cup4Cup
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup mini gluten free chocolate chips we like dark or semi-sweet
  • 1 cup cadbury mini eggs crushed (plus more for sprinkling on top after baking)

Instructions

  • Brown butter by heating in a medium saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes. It will bubble up and give off a nutty aroma just before it is done. Remove from heat immediately and allow to cool 20-30 minutes.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
  • Mix eggs and white sugar on medium-high speed for 5 minutes. The mixture should be thick and pale yellow.
  • Add brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, almond extract, and browned butter and mix on medium speed for 1 minute.
  • Add gluten free flour, baking soda, and salt and mix for another minute.
  • Stir in mini chocolate chips and crushed Cadbury mini eggs.
  • These cookies are best if refrigerated 1-2 days, but you can go ahead and bake some if you're anxious! You'll get the best appearance and texture if you refrigerate the dough first, but sometimes one can’t wait :)
  • When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Scoop cookies using a #40 cookie scoop or rolling 2 tablespoons of dough into a ball
  • Place cookies 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet and bake 8-10 minutes until edges begin to brown. The cookies might look a little underdone and that’s the way you want them! They will cook a little more as they cool.
  • Cool for 1-2 minutes on the cookie sheet and remove to a cooling rack.
  • You can refrigerate the dough for up to a week. When you're ready to bake the cookies, remove dough from the fridge when you turn the oven on to allow them the dough to warm up a bit while the oven is preheating.

Notes

Which gluten-free flour to use:
I tested this recipe with Cup4Cup all-purpose gluten free flour and recommend using this brand. gfJules also tends to be a great blend for cookies and should work. I cannot guarantee the results if you choose to use a different flour blend.
How to store the cookies:
You can refrigerate the dough in an airtight container for up to a week. When you're ready to bake the cookies, remove dough from the fridge when you turn the oven on to allow them the dough to warm up a bit while the oven is preheating.
You can also store the dough in the freezer up to 4 months (see the post for how to do this) or freeze baked cookies.
