Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup coconut oil or dairy-free butter (softened)
- ¾ cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1 large egg (or flax egg: 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsps water)
- ¼ cup maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
- ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips (or chopped nuts, raisins, etc.)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional, for extra warmth)
Instructions
- Preparation: Ignite the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for flawless cookie crafting.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Whisk gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl until perfectly blended.
- Wet Ingredient Harmony: Cream coconut oil, coconut sugar, and maple syrup in a large bowl until silky smooth, creating a uniform mixture.
- Liquid Integration: Blend egg (or flax egg) and vanilla extract into the wet ingredients, ensuring complete incorporation.
- Dough Formation: Marry dry ingredients with wet mixture, gently folding until a cohesive dough emerges, then tenderly fold in dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Cookie Placement: Scoop tablespoon-sized dollops onto the prepared baking sheet, positioning cookies 2 inches apart to allow graceful spreading.
- Baking Transformation: Slide the sheet into the preheated oven, baking for 10-12 minutes until edges turn a delicate golden hue.
- Cooling Finale: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to complete the cooling process and develop the perfect texture.
Notes
- Flour Finesse: Use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum for better cookie structure and texture.
- Moisture Management: Coconut oil can vary in consistency, so ensure it’s at room temperature for even mixing and optimal dough formation.
- Chocolate Chip Selection: Choose dairy-free chocolate chips specifically designed for baking to guarantee proper melting and flavor integration.
- Vegan Variation: Replace egg with a flax egg by mixing 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water for a plant-based alternative that binds ingredients effectively.
