One of the things my son misses most about not being able to eat gluten are special treats such as the lovely chewy cookies you can buy so I decided to try and replicate them. This is a great recipe as long as you don’t make the cookies too enormous otherwise you may have a few breakages…not that it detracts from the lovely treacly taste!
Ingredients
- 125g soft butter
- 225g soft brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 200g gluten free plain flour
- 200g white chocolate chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon gluten free baking powder
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk
- pinch of salt
- Preheat the oven to 180•C, gas mark 4
- Cream the butter and sugar until pale and creamy
- Beat in the egg, add the milk and vanilla extract
- Fold in the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt
- Gently fold in the chocolate chunks
- The dough will be quite sticky so use floured hands to roll a good handful and place on a lined baking sheet and press down into a round shape about a thickness of 1cm. Leave a large space between each one, at least 10cm as they spread a lot.
- Bake for 10 minutes
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before carefully moving onto a wire rack
Makes approximately 10 cookies
These look delicious, I wonder if I could add freeze dried raspberries for some sharpness.
mmmm, I expect they would be delicious! 🙂
These look fab, will make them for hubby x
