Ingredients
  

Cookie Base

  • 2 cups gluten free flour blend (1 to 1 baking flour) Ensure it contains xanthan gum to reduce spreading.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened) Can be replaced with dairy free butter for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Reduce slightly for a lower sugar version.
  • 1 large egg Can be substituted with a flax egg for an egg-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips or regular chips

Mummy Decoration

  • 1 cup white chocolate or vanilla candy melts Melted for drizzling.
  • 1/2 cup candy eyes Store bought or homemade from icing dots.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a bowl, stir together the gluten free flour blend, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a larger bowl, mix softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  • Combine the dry mix into the wet mix and stir until flour is no longer visible. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Chill the dough for 30 to 60 minutes to help cookies maintain their shape.

Baking

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Scoop dough into balls (about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons each) and place on a lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  • Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before decorating.

Decoration

  • Melt white chocolate or candy melts and drizzle over cooled cookies in messy zigzags.
  • Add candy eyes before the drizzle sets.

Notes

Decorating can be messy, which adds to the fun! Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Allow refrigerated cookies to come to room temperature before serving.
