Description

Delicious gluten-free chocolate chip cookies loaded with chocolate buttons and chips.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups gluten free flour (* See notes)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 7 tablespoons butter (softened to room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 cup chocolate buttons (M & M’s or similar)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream the butter and sugars together until fluffy. Mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Using a wooden spoon, gently mix through the dry ingredients, then fold in the candy buttons and chocolate chips.
  4. Cover the mixing bowl and refrigerate for an hour.
  5. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  6. Using a cookie scoop, scoop out 12-16 portions of cookie dough. Place them on the two cookie sheets, leaving 1-2 inches apart so the cookies can spread.
  7. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just done. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider adding vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture.
  • Make sure to use gluten free certified flour for the best results.
