Gluten-free Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies | The Baking Beauties
Alright, Chocoholics, are you ready for this recipe? These Double Choco Chunk Cookies were fantastic. So good, in fact, that I refused to share with my gluten-eating family. Boy, that’s a nice card to play at times…. “no, you can’t have those, they’re gluten-free, you’ll have to eat the regular cookies I baked for you.”. My 4 year old asks of various food items “is that gluten free?”, and if I say yes, he thinks he can’t eat it. Yes, I’m training him well. Hehe…more cookies for me! OK, sometimes I share. It’s hard not to, he’s kind of cute. 🙂

These chocolate chocolate chunk cookies are are sort of like a brownie on the go. They are moist, chewy little melt-in-your-mouth brownie bites. That’s how I’d describe them. If that didn’t get you, nothing will! Definitely give these cookies a try. Oh, did I mention that they are also allergen friendly? If you use dairy-free, soy-free chocolate chips, and rice milk (I used milk chocolate & cow’s milk myself) they will be perfect for nearly all allergen-prone people.

Double Choco Chunk Cookies

Yield: 24

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups Basic Gluten-Free Flour Mix (see note)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1/3 cup milk (rice, soy, cow, etc)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks or chips (dairy-free, soy-free if necessary)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine the flour mix, cocoa powder, xanthan gum, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Mix thoroughly, being sure to work out any lumps of cocoa powder.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the canola oil and milk, mixing on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add the vanilla and sugar. Mix for 20 seconds.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix on low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
  • Scoop out the dough by heaping tablespoons and place on the baking sheets, 12 per sheet. Wet your hands with a little water and roll the dough into balls, moistening your hands again as necessary. (I just used the smallest Pampered Chef cookie scoop, and it worked well).
  • Bake in the center of the oven for 12 minutes, until just set. Do not overcook, as chocolate burns easily. You want the inside to remain chewy, not dry.
  • Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring to a cooling rack.

      I love that these are made with cocoa powder and are therefore soy-free. These are going in may "I want to make" folder.

      As soon as I saw the picture of those cookies I lost track of what I was reading. Those look divine.

      We are on our second batch!! My children are very picky with biscuits and these have been a great triumph!! Thank you for sharing the recipe!!

      Carolyn, you won't be disappointed! Just make sure to not over bake them. Slightly under-baked, they are like fudgey brownie, but bite size. 🙂
