Mini Egg Brownie Cookies (Paleo, GF, DF & NF)

It's easter time babbbyyyy and you know what that means.... chocolate!! When I first went paleo, I was so upset that I could never have milk chocolate again, but with brands like HU TAZA, Enjoy Life and Camino, my dairy free chocolate dreams came to life!

This recipe is a fan favourite in my house because its more decadent than your typical cookie and has the soft pillowy texture of a brownie!

This recipe can be modified to follow a dairy free and paleo lifestyle, just sub mini eggs for your favourite dairy free chocolate!

These cookies are paleo, gluten free, dairy free and nut free!

They are super chocolatey because of the cocoa powder and chocolate chips, but I wouldn't have it any other way because it really adds that rich flavour you look for in a brownie!

One thing I love about this recipe too is that it is nut free, which means it is perfect for kids to bring to school and share with friends!

If you're like me and like your cookies to be really soft I recommend baking them for 8 minutes!
