Gluten-Free Chewy Chocolate Cookies Tips

Why Melt Butter or Coconut Oil

In fact, for a fudgier texture, the butter needs to be melted. Can you use coconut oil? Nonetheless, butter in cookies does taste better. Gluten-Free cookies don’t often have a soft or fudgy center. Hence, it was important that this cookie have this. The rise in this recipe only comes from baking soda.

How and Why Bloom Cocoa

What does it mean to bloom cocoa? It means adding cocoa to a warm or hot liquid and drawing out the chocolate flavors. As the cocoa dissolves it thickens and releases a more intense taste. As well as, rehydrating the chocolate. Immediately after melting the butter add in the cocoa.

Why Add Coffee

Why add coffee? Because it also amplifies the flavor and the sweetness of chocolate or cocoa. Not to mention, that it decreases our sensitivity to bitter flavors. Most importantly, the coffee flavor will be hidden.

Gluten-Free Chewy Chocolate Cookies

In conclusion, be careful not to over mixed dough creates a dense cookie.

Last but not least, make sure to use room-temperature eggs. Why? It will create a fluffier and more tender crumb. Incidentally, it allows everything to cream together better. Needless to say, whole eggs can be set into a bowl of hot water for 5 minutes to bring them up to room temperature.

Recipe Notes:

As a result, be sure to leave between each cookie. Likewise, when pans are crowded it is harder to achieve even cooking. Furthermore, this cookie is versatile it can be made with or without chocolate chips. In short, this cookie is a soft and decadent cookie. Incidentally, a hand mixer can be used. Of course, mixing time will need to be increased by a minute or two.

Additionally, read my blog post on Cassava Flour Information and Monk Fruit Facts | Information for a deeper look at these two ingredients. Find Stand Mixers on Amazon.

Freezer Directions:

Nevertheless, this cookie can be frozen. In summary, use a cookie scoop and add to a 1/4 sheet pan with parchment paper. Allow a small amount of room between cookies. Simply add the pan to the freezer. Leave in the freezer for two hours. Remove from the freezer and add the cookies to a gallon-size freezer bag. Freeze for up to three months. In conclusion, remove cookies or cookies from the freezer. Above all allow it to come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 350 F and cook for approximately 10 – 12 minutes.
