DEEP DARK CHOCOLATE CHESTNUT COOKIES, GLUTEN AND DAIRY FREE

Steps:

• Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave, set aside.
• Whisk together flours, salt, cocoa and baking soda. Chestnut flour tends to be lumpy, so make sure to sift it.
• Beat sugars, orange zest and margarine until well combined, then stirr in eggs one at a time. Beat until considerably lighter in colour and creamy consistancy.
• Fold in dry ingredients with a rubber spatula while pouring in melted chocolate slowly. Mixture will thicken up just enough to spoon it into a cookie press. If you find batter too thin put it in the fridge for a few minutes.
• Use your cookie press at the smalles setting, if it has that. Bigger cookies will be chewy, not crisp.
• Freeze unbaked cookies on a silpat or sheet of baking paper. I always prepare a big batch so I can pop the desired amount of cookies in the oven when convenient (usually after doing some other baking ;-)).
• Preheat oven to 320.
• Place frozen cookies on a greased cookie sheet, leaving 1 inch between cookies.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the center of the oven.
• Turn oven off, leaving cookies in there for at least half an hour or more.
• Let cool completely and enjoy. Will keep very well in an airtigh container.
