Drumstick Ice‑Cream Cone Cookies (Gluten‑Free & Dairy‑Free) 

These cookies take inspiration from the iconic Nestlé Drumstick ice‑cream cone, reimagined into a soft, chewy, gluten‑free, dairy‑free cookie. Each bite hides a sweet fudge center wrapped in cookie dough strewn with crushed sugar cones, then dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with peanuts. The result is a playful, nostalgic dessert with contrasting textures—chewy cookie, creamy fudge, crunchy cone bits, and a chocolate‑peanut exterior. Simple yet impressive, they’re perfect for summer gatherings, kids’ baking, or anyone craving a Drumstick experience in cookie form. 

Ingredients

• Gluten‑free sugar cones, crushed
  
  

• Crushed peanuts
  
  

• Gluten‑free all‑purpose flour (e.g. Bob’s 1:1)
  
  

• Coconut sugar
  
  

• Blackstrap molasses
  
  

• Baking soda
  
  

• Sea salt
  
  

• Non‑dairy butter (or regular butter)
  
  

• Eggs
  
  

• Vanilla extract
  
  

• Dark chocolate chips
  
  

• Non‑dairy milk of choice
  
  

Directions

1. Prepare the fudge center: Warm non‑dairy milk and pour over dark chocolate chips; whisk until smooth and refrigerate until firm.
   
   

2. Make the cookie dough: Cream coconut sugar, molasses, non‑dairy butter, eggs, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients—flour, baking soda, salt—and mix until combined. Fold in crushed sugar cone pieces and peanuts. Chill dough.
   
   

3. Assemble cookies: Flatten chilled dough balls, place a chilled fudge piece in the center, then wrap dough around it and roll back into balls. Optionally press crushed sugar cones on top.
   
   

4. Bake: Arrange dough balls ~3″ apart on baking sheets. Bake ~11–12 minutes until edges are set and centers slightly underbaked for gooeyness. Allow cooling on the tray.
   
   

5. Finish: Melt chocolate chips, dip the tops of the cooled cookies, and immediately sprinkle with crushed peanuts. Chill to set. Serve with vanilla ice cream for a full Drumstick homage.
