Ingredients - Biscuit

  • 150 grams soft butter/150 grams dairy free spread
  • 12 cups sugar
  • 1 14 cup gluten free flour
  • 14 cup cocoa
  • 1 cup gluten free cornflakes

Ingredients - Topping

  • 14 cup dark chocolate drops

  3. Sift in flour and cocoa, then mix well.
  4. Add cornflakes & mix. 
  5. Roll spoonfuls into balls and flatten onto prepared tray. They won't change shape much.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes then allow to cool on the tray until firm enough to transfer to a cooling rack.

  2. Smear some chocolate over the middle of each biscuit.
  3. Place a walnut half on top of each chocolate smear.

Lovely crunch and very tasty. These worked well for me with Edmonds GF all purpose flour.
I was skeptical that they might fall apart as they don't have any eggs, but they hold together well. This could be a great option for egg allergy or vegan (I used butter but the recipe could be made with dairy-free spread).
