Easy Chocolate Mummy Cookies

Prep Time10 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time25 mins

For the dry ingredients:
 3/4 cup (100g) gluten-free oat flour
 1/3 cup (35g) cocoa powder
 1/3 cup (65g) sugar
 1/4 tsp salt
 1/4 tsp baking soda
For the wet ingredients:
 1/4 cup (60g) butter, melted and chilled
 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
 3 Tbsp milk, dairy or non-dairy
 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
To decorate:
 1/4 cup (60ml) melted white chocolate, to drizzle
 candy eyes, to decorate
Instructions:
1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line one large baking tray with a Silpat mat or parchment paper.

2

Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.

3

Using a hand mixer, combine all the wet ingredients in a separate bowl.

4

Mix the ingredients until a sticky dough develops by pouring the wet ingredients over the dry ones.

5

Make a large ball out of the dough using a silicone spatula.

6

Take a small amount of dough, form it into a ball between your palms, and set it on the baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Repeat the process with the leftover dough, (you should get about 8-10 balls). Create a gap between each ball as you arrange the balls on the tray.

7

After transferring, bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven. After cooling, they will become crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. When they first come out of the oven, they will appear a little squishy. So, give the cookies about 10 minutes to cool before removing them from the baking sheet.

8

Add 2 candy eyes to each cookie, then drizzle with white chocolate. Refrigerate for a few minutes to set.

Tips:
9

Use pure melted butter and brown sugar to create chewy, soft chocolate cookies. These will result in an easily workable dough, which is necessary for that purpose.

10

Plain all-purpose flour or self-raising flour can be used in place of oat flour. If you choose plain flour, you must add a rising agent of some kind.

You can use white, dark, or milk chocolate to decorate these homemade Halloween cookies, or you can choose to make them plain.
