Gluten Free Choc Chip Cookies!!

Cookie Monster would be proud!

Experimenting with different gluten free flours has been fun albeit not always successful.

So when I pull off a recipe that calls for gluten free flour and it WORKS, I am stoked!

The kids have been wanting to make Chocolate Chip Cookies and I kept putting it off not really wanting to go to all the trouble and then make a flop.

While googling today I found a basic recipe that looked promising.  A slight tweak with the flours and mmmm wah lah! These turned out so good.

Chewy and soft, not too sweet and delectably chocolatey.


Here is the recipe...

* 1/2 cup raw organic butter
* 1/2 cup packed organic rapadura/brown sugar

* 1 organic free range egg
* 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (gf)

* 1 cup of organic brown rice flour
* 1/4 cup organic millet flour
* 1/4 cup tapioca flour
* 1 tsp xanthan gum
* 1/2 tsp gluten free - alum free baking powder
* 1/2 tsp bicarb soda
* 1/4 tsp celtic/himalayan salt

* 1 cup chocolate chips (gf)


And here's how we made them...

1. Combine butter and sugar in processor or bowl and mix on medium speed until creamy.
2. Add egg and vanilla and continue beating until well mixed.
3. Add flours, xanthan gum, baking powder, bicarb and salt and mix slowly and thoroughly.
4. Add the choc chips and mix.  I found it best to remove from my thermomix and mix in by hand.

(There were a few sneaky chips that disappeared.  Wade kept looking with his tastebuds.. and so did I!)

5. Prepare a tray with baking paper.
6. Roll dough into smallish balls and press lightly onto tray.  Keep a bit of distance between each one.  Maybe an inch or two.
7. Bake for 7-9 mins only.  Remove from oven and leave to cool a little.

Enjoy with a cuppa or milk.  So good!
