Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have been craving chocolate chip cookies so much during lockdown! So I decided to buy some ingredients on my shop to have a go! Hopefully you have some of these ingredients in your cupboard/fridge already if you bake often, I tried to make the cookies with the simplest ingredients as possible! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did 😊

Ingredients:

1. 100g melted butter
2. 1/2 a teaspoon of xanthan gum
3. 1 teaspoon of baking powder
4. 80g caster sugar
5. 1 medium egg
6. 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
7. 320g gluten free plain flour
8. 100g milk chocolate chips

Method:

1. Firstly, mix together your melted butter, caster sugar, 1 medium egg and vanilla extract
2. Once all mixed in, then mix in your flour, xanthan gum and baking powder.
3. This will then form a sticky dough - once all mixed in, then mix in your chocolate chips
4. Once all your dough is mixed together, put some cling film over the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour
5. Next, once your dough has been refrigerated, place 6 small balls (depending on how big your baking tray is) onto a grease proof paper lined baking tray and flatten them slightly so they will create a cookie shape.
6. Then, bake your cookies in the oven for 15 minutes on 190 degrees celcius. If you like really soft cookies then I would bake for about 13 minutes. 15 minutes creates still a soft cookie but slightly harder top which I personally prefer!

And there you have it! Gluten free chocolate chip cookies - enjoy with a glass of milk!

Don't forget to tag me in your posts on social media if you do make these 😊
