Taking The Stress Out Of Gluten-Free Grain-Free & Dairy-Free Living
Chocolate Chunk Cookies
They are very lightly crisp on the outside, and gooey and soft in the middle.
Chocolate Chunk Cookies
This recipe has been adapted from an Scharfen Berger chocolate recipe.
2 1/2 Cups Mama’s All Purpose Almond Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 1/2 teaspoons Xanthan Gum
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
3/4 Cup Dairy Free Butter (I use Soy Free Earth Balance)
1 Cup Dark Brown Sugar, packed
3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
2 Large Eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
1 1/4 Cups Dark Chocolate, roughly chopped (at least 72% and dairy free)
*Preheat oven to 350 degrees ( I use a convection oven)
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Measure the flour, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt into a large bowl and whisk to combine.
In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer, cream the butter and sugars until creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down bowl and add the eggs and vanilla. Blend well and scrape down sides.
With mixer on low, add the flour mixture and beat just until fully incorporated, scrape down bowl and add chocolate chunks. Mix until fully incorporated into dough, about 20-30 seconds.
Drop rounded Tablespoons of the dough onto the baking sheets about 2 inches apart (I did 6 per sheet) and bake for 13-15 minutes. Do not over bake, as they will become too crisp and you will not have the soft middle. Cool on wire racks and store at room temperature in airtight container.

Now that’s perseverance! Many of us would have given up after one failed attempt, with most of the rest tossing in the towel after the 2nd bread attempt. I can’t imagine anyone continuing, after the 3rd failed attempt at baking in one day, a cookie recipe. Yet, you did and were rewarded with a great chocolate chip recipe. You’re the Gluten-Free Baker That Could! Congrats! 🙂
