Chocolate Raisin Biscuits Gluten Free Or Not Food

GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Whisk all of the flours, the cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and xanthan gum together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Put the butter and brown sugar into a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the milk, vanilla and eggs and beat until blended. Reduce the speed to low and slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Add the chips and stir to combine.
• Spoon heaping tablespoons (or smaller scoops) of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake the cookies in two batches, two sheets at a time, until the cookies are set and just beginning to crack slightly on top, 13 to 14 minutes. Rotate the sheets halfway through for even baking.
• Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 2 minutes, and then remove to a rack and cool completely.

• Beat the butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Add the egg and beat well. Stir in the melted chocolate.
• Sift in the flour and baking powder. Stir gently to combine. Fold into the mix the remaining chopped chocolate and the shopped raisins.
• Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm.
• Roll tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls and then place onto the trays. Flatten with the back of a metal spoon.
• Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden.
• Stand 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

GLUTEN FREE CHOCOLATE CHIP, RAISIN, WALNUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C (375 degrees F).
• Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl. (Use a stand mixer if available.).
• Mix the oil, egg and sugars until pale and creamy looking. Add the vanilla and water.
• Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined. If the chocolate chips fall out of the dough, add a little more water.
• Using two spoons, drop small walnut sized piles of the mixture onto Teflon or baking-paper-lined oven sheets, leaving about 4-5cm between each to allow spreading as they cook.
• Place, one tray at a time, in the middle of the oven and bake for 10-11 minutes until not quite golden brown. Be careful not to overcook, they are still tasty but crumbly.
• Cool on baking tray for a few minutes, then on racks until completely cool before transferring to an airtight container for storage. They keep well for a few days, otherwise store in the freezer.

FLUFFY GLUTEN-FREE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. In the bowl of the food processor that has been fitted with the metal blade, add the flour through salt. Pulse a couple of times to combine.
• Cut the shortening into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Pulse several times to incorporate. Beat together the milk and egg white. Add to the processor bowl and mix until dough forms a ball and pulls away from the bowl.
• Lightly flour a cutting board or counter top with the all-purpose baking flour and turn out the dough. With wet hands pat dough down, sprinkle lightly with additional flour and roll gently to 3/4 inch thickness. Use a lightly floured 2" biscuit cutter to cut into 6 biscuits. Place on prepared baking and bake 12 to 15 minutes. Half way through baking, brush the tops with melted butter.
