Do you love all things “mint” as much as I do? If so, you’ve landed in the right place!
Hello, my name is Keeley and I’m addicted to all things ‘mint’. Candies, coffees, teas, you name it! My daughter has apparently inherited my love for mint flavors, since we cannot get enough of it in our house.
These Chewy Chocolate Mint Cookie Cups were an instant hit. Mini in size, making them the perfect bite-size snack or dessert in the lunchbox. They are gluten, egg, and nut free. Try making them dairy free, by using additional allergy friendly chocolate chips and adding peppermint extract instead.
You can also bake and freeze these cups. Once thawed, they’re still as perfectly chewy and delicious as the day they were made!
Ingredients
- 2 -1/4 cups of Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp of xantham gum
- 1 tsp. of baking powder
- 1 tsp of baking soda
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 2 flax egg replacers* or two eggs
- 3/4 cup of butter, softened
- 3/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 2 tsp. of vanilla
- 1 cup of Andes Creme de Menthe baking chips (gluten, nut, & egg free)
- 1 cup of EnjoyLife MiniChips (free of Top 8 allergens)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray mini-muffin pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium size bowl, blend butter, brown sugar, sugar, vanilla, and flax eggs.
- In a large size bowl, mix together dry ingredients - flour, xantham gum, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Pour blended butter, sugar, and egg mixture into the larger bowl and mix (scraping bowl often) until creamy.
- Stir in MiniChips & Andes Baking Chips.
- Fill each cavity of the mini muffin pan with approximately 2 tsp. (3/4 filled) of dough.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown (Be careful not to overbake or they won't be chewy!)
- Let cool for 2-3 minutes then remove from pan, gently, with a knife to 'pop' them out of each cavity.
Notes
To make 1 flax "egg": 1 Tbsp. of ground flax seed + 3 Tbsp. of warm water; Mix until creamy, let stand 1 minute
These sound fantastic but how could they be made with reg flour?
I don’t have any gf flour in the house.
absolutely. you can use regular flour. :)
You always post such wonderful recipes and lunch ideas. I’m just wondering if it is at all possible to provide nutritional information with some of these types of recipes?
