Gluten Free Decadent Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies Food

GLUTEN-FREE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
• Mix white sugar, cocoa powder, rice flour, tapioca flour, sorghum flour, chestnut flour, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum together in a large bowl.
• Melt 4 ounces chocolate chips, with butter and vanilla extract in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Remove from heat.
• Stir eggs into the flour mixture; slowly pour melted chocolate mixture into flour mixture. Stir until incorporated. Fold 4 ounces chocolate chips into the batter.
• Drop batter roughly in a ball shape, 1 tablespoon per cookie, onto the prepared baking sheet, keeping balls 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are spread and top surface is slightly cracked, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack to allow cookies to set.

GLUTEN-FREE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the oil, evaporated cane juice, applesauce, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla. In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, flax meal, baking soda, and xanthan gum. Using a rubber spatula, carefully add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and combine until dough is formed. Gently fold in the chocolate chips just until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
• Using a melon-baller or tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1-inch apart. Gently press each with the heel of your hand to help them spread. Bake on the center rack for 14 minutes, rotating the trays 180 degrees after 7 minutes. The cookies will be crispy on the edges and soft in the center.
• Let the cookies stand on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack and cool completely before covering. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

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.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE-CHERRY COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
• Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in milk and vanilla.
• Gradually add flour mixture and stir until dough is just combined. Fold in white chocolate chips and cherries. Scoop about 1/4 cup dough per cookie 3 inches apart onto cookie sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of cookies are set and the tops lose their sheen, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheets briefly before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
