Frequently asked questions 

Which butter do you use for the cookies?

I use the Stork ‘perfect for baking’ 250g gold packet butter which is naturally dairy free and available in most major UK supermarkets. If you can’t get hold of this butter, it’s always best to use a hard dairy free butter block instead of a soft spread for the perfect cookie texture.

Which dairy free chocolate do you use in the cookies? 

Any dairy free chocolate will work for this recipe. I prefer to use larger chunks of broken up dairy free chocolate instead of chocolate chips.

Which gluten free flour do you use for the cookies? 

For this recipe, and the majority of my bakes, I use the FREEE Gluten Free Plain Flour  which works really well in gluten free baking.

Which dairy free eggs do you use for the topping?

For this recipe I used the Asda Free From Easter Mini Eggs but any Free From eggs would work.

How long will these cookies last?

These cookies will last in an airtight container for up to 3 days however, are always best served on the day you make them.

Can I freeze the cookie dough?

This cookie dough recipe is suitable for freezing. Just freeze the dough in balls and cook from frozen for a few minutes longer than the recipe states.
