Ingredients:

  • 1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (or almond milk)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 1/3 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (I highly recommend this brand for best results – be sure to get one that contains xanthan gum)
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instruction:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking soda and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
  2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted start to whisk constantly. First the butter will begin to foam, then after a couple of minutes it will begin to brown on the bottom of the saucepan. Turn off the heat as soon as the solids turn brown and the butter gives off a nutty aroma. Pour into a glass mixing bowl to prevent burning.
  3. Add the milk, brown sugar and white sugar. Whisk to combine. Add the egg and vanilla and whisk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Using a rubber spatula, mix in the dry ingredients until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  5. Cover the bowl and let sit for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350F. Scoop the cookie dough (about 2 Tablespoons of dough per cookie) and place a few inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden and the center is set.
  6. Let cool 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling. Enjoy!

What are the tips for using gluten free flour in cookies?

Mix your batters and doughs longer and get better results. Let your gluten-free dough rest for about 30 minutes before baking. It will give your flour blend enough time to take in all the liquid and make the structure more stable. Thirty minutes should be enough, no need to wait for hours or leave it overnight.

How do you keep gluten-free cookies soft?

7- If your cookie dough is too dry and crumbly, just add back to the mixing bowl and stir in a couple tablespoons of your favorite milk. Add more if needed – the dough needs to hold together, but most cookie doughs shouldn’t be sticky.

Are gluten-free cookies better for you than regular cookies?

Gluten-free does not necessarily mean healthy because all gluten-free foods are not equally nutritious. “An apple and a gluten-free sugar cookie are both gluten-free, but their nutrients vary drastically,” DiGeronimo says. Grocery and health food stores are full of gluten-free cakes, cookies and sweet treats.
