Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies and An Announcement

9 May, 2016 by Slim Palate 9 Comments

Gluten-Free-Chocolate-chip-Cookies

So I have been testing this recipe for like 2 months now because I lost the original and perfected recipe. I’m actually extremely frustrated with it but this is the closest I’ve gotten with texture so far. Crispy on the outside and chewy stick to your teeth on the inside.

With that said I’ve got something way more important to talk about.

I’m hosting a food photography workshop at Texas French Bread in Austin with the famous Ashleigh Amoroso and we will be teaching you how to take amazing photos of your food just like us! There will also be a delicious spread of cheese, snacks, and wine for you to eat while you enjoy a fun interactive and immersive lesson in food photography. If you live in or near Austin, Texas, then you reserve a spot to this event as seating is extremely limited right now! Click here to get a spot.

Honestly I’m so excited about the workshop and I can’t wait to meet some of my readers to teach them my ways. It took so incredibly long to get the workshop rolling due to a bunch of scheduling issues along with finding a spot. I’m thanking my lucky stars that everything worked out though because this is really looking to be such a pleasant time to do and experience.

Chopped-CHocolate

Back to the cookies, yes, always chop your chocolate coarsely instead of using chocolate chips. I know, it’s a little against the name “chocolate chip” but trust me. You cannot go wrong here. Just try them for yourself and love everything about them.

  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ cup + 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  2. In a medium bowl add the sugars, then add the melted butter and stir till combined. Add the first egg and mix until incorporated then add the egg yolk and mix until thoroughly incorporated. Add the vanilla and mix again until incorporated.
  3. Add the flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix until very well and evenly incorporated. Fold in chopped chocolate until evenly distributed.

    Hello Joshua, Is there perhaps a typo in the first line of the recipe? This is what it says, “1¼ cup + 2 Tablespoons Cup 4 Cup gluten free flour” What is the correct amount of flour please.

    It looks awesome and I will definitely have to try them!

      I can see how this looks a little confusing. Cup 4 Cup is the name of the gluten free flour mix.

    I well remember my quest for the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe, several years ago. It was an obsession for a while. I think this happens to a lot of us. I turned my kitchen into a test kitchen time after time, experimenting with various recipes. Sometimes I’d think I was close, then I’d tweak something and it usually got worse. Then one day I found a recipe which for me, was “perfect enough.” It was the old tattered card in my mom’s recipe box. =) After all those experiments, I finally concluded that simplest was best.

    Here, I’ll paste it…and I’ll try yours soon, I promise! My diet has changed and I haven’t made these in ages, but I see that they’re probably too sweet and I’d need to use GF flour now. But as you know, changing the amount of sugar really affects the texture, and so does every other ingredient.

    “Perfect” Chocolate Chip Cookies

    1 1/3 cup salted butter, softened
    3/4 cup sugar
    3/4 cup brown sugar (I prefer dark brown)
    2 eggs
    2 tsp. vanilla
    3 cups flour
    1 tsp. baking soda
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1 cup (or more) of chocolate chips (I like Ghirardelli 60% chips)
    1 cup (or more) of chopped walnuts

    Cream together butter and sugars, then add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Stir in flour, soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by tablespoons (or 1-inch balls) onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until edges are lightly browned and tops of cookies just lose their shine. (In our convection oven, this takes 13 minutes at 350.) Cool for a couple of minutes on the pan before removing to a wire rack. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

    Hello, I’m so excited to try these recipes because I have recently started eating the ketogenic style. Have lost over 15 lbs in two weeks. Not sure how the ketogenic & paleo styles are similar, but I’m about to research that 😉 Anyways, like I said, I’m really looking forward to trying out all your recipes cuz like, you said. We should eat for happiness & maximum healthfulness and reincorporate other real wholesome foods.

    Hi Joshua! Once again I love your desserts but there is something I must ask. I want to make a cookie cake, am I somehow able to use this recipe in that matter? And if so, how much dough would I possibly need? Thirdly, am I able to share this recipe of yours on my blog? Thanks

      I’m not 100 percent sure it will work but I would be surprised if it didn’t! It depends on how large you want the cake to be. Is it going to have layers? If it won’t have layers then I’m sure an entire recipe or a double recipe would be sufficient.
