Ingredients

  • 130 g butter
  • 50 g caster sugar
  • 150 g light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 280 g gluten free plain flour
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp cornflour also known as corn starch
  • 200 g chocolate chips
  • KitKat Bunnies mix of regular size and mini size

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 160C Fan / 180C. Prepare a 9inch square baking tin with baking paper (enough to lift out the bars later once cooked).
  • Add your melted butter and both sugars to a large bowl and mix together. Do this until totally combined - it will take a few minutes with a spatula by hand.
  • Add in your egg and vanilla extract and mix again until fully combined.
  • Add in your flour, xanthan gum, bicarbonate of soda, salt and cornflour and mix (I still do this by hand). It can take quite a bit of time to fully combine but you should be left with a yummy cookie dough!
  • Add in your chocolate chips and mix into the dough evenly. Leave a few chocolate chips out (20-30g) to pop in the top of the cookie bars.
  • Place your cookie dough into your prepared tin. I spoon mine in and push it to the edges making sure its an even layer without any gaps. (Get your hands in there if need be!)
  • Push some chocolate chips into the top of the cookie dough.
  • Place in your preheated oven for about 22-25 minutes until a skewer comes out fairly clean.
  • Remove from the oven and carefully push in KitKat bunnies into your brownies.
  • Allow to cool (the chocolate bunnies too!) before removing from the tin and cutting into squares. Enjoy!
