Double Chocolate Brownie Cookies (and they're amazingly gluten-free)

Thursday, May 16, 2013 18:48

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

These cookies are so good!

They’re chewy and fudgy

Best of both worlds — brownie & cookie.

For those like my daughter

(with a gluten intolerance)

they’re an extra special treat,

because they’re gluten-free!

For those who love chocolate

and home-baked cookies,

they’re just plain delicious!

After many trials and tests, we’ve narrowed the source of our daughter’s digestive woes to a gluten intolerance. Therefore, I’m beginning to explore the whole new world of gluten-free cooking and baking. Yesterday was National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, and I couldn’t help but seize the opportunity to develop a cookie recipe dedicated to my daughter. She loved them and I hope you will too!

The almond meal provides stability and nutrients, while the rice flour helps keep the cookies light. The coconut does not add a heavy coconut flavor. Rather, it helps add structure to the cookies and imbues a subtle nutty undertone.

Double Chocolate Brownie Cookies

Yield: approx.. 32
cookies

1 ¼ cups almond meal
1 cup rice flour
½ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 oz. (1/4 cup) bittersweet chocolate chips, melted
8 oz. bittersweet chocolate chips
2 cups shredded coconut

Step 1: In a medium bowl whisk together almond meal, rice flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

Step 2: In the bowl of a mixer, beat softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed until incorporated. Add melted chocolate; mix on low speed until combined.

Step 3: Add dry ingredient mixture to the creamed mixture. Stir on low speed until incorporated. Add coconut and chocolate chips. Stir just till combined and evenly distributed. Chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Step 4: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop dough into 3 TB portions (I used a size 24 scoop, leveled). Arrange 2″ apart (I got 12 to a sheet). Keep extra dough refrigerated in-between batches. Bake cookies on middle rack of oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack before removing from pan. Repeat with remaining batches.

Our favorite way to eat these cookies is warm, although they were excellent with a cold glass of milk the next day as well. Enjoy!
