Ingredients
2 1/4 cups (330g) gluten-free 1:1 flour
3/4 cup (70g) old-fashioned rolled oats
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine kosher salt
1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200g) light brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 large egg yolk, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup (200g) crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs*
1/2 cup (85g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
PREPARE THE COOKIE DOUGH
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free 1:1 flour, oats, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed for 2–3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just partially incorporated (~10 seconds).
- Add the crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs and chocolate chips. Using a rubber spatula, fold the dough until no flour streaks remain and the mix-ins are evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.
BAKE THE COOKIES
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop the dough into 3-tablespoon (70 g) portions and place 6 on the prepared baking sheet. Press additional crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs or chocolate chips on top if any spots appear bare.
- Bake on the center rack for 10–13 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are soft but no longer wet or shiny.
- Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, use a large round cookie cutter or the rim of a small bowl to gently swirl them into even, round shapes. The cookies will remain thick rather than spreading thin—if needed, you can lightly flatten them with the bottom of a glass or spatula after swirling.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat with the remaining dough (the recipe yields about 18 cookies).
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or up to 1 week in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
Notes
*Place the mini eggs in a resealable plastic bag and gently crush them with a rolling pin, aiming for a mix of smaller pieces and larger chunks with minimal crumbs.
