Gluten-Free Chocolate Chunk Cookies

April 7, 2017 by David James Di Pardo 1 Comment

Gluten-Free Chocolate Chunk CookiesToday I’m swooning over these chocolate chunk cookies. They’re sweet, with big chunks of melted chocolate, crispy on the outside, and chewy and tender on the inside. I’ve been playing with this recipe for the better part of a year (that’s a lot of cookies). Changing the sugars, flours, oils, and egg substitutes in each batch. Finally batch 16 was the winner!

Gluten-Free Chocolate Chunk CookiesEvery time I look at Instagram or Pinterest, I drool over those perfectly shaped cookies. You know the ones the spread out into perfect ripples of dough and chocolate with crackled tops? Every time I baked mine I ended up with little pillows of cookie dough. I swapped the amounts of baking soda and baking powder, and tried mixing by hand versus a hand mixer, and nothing…

Gluten-Free Chocolate Chunk CookiesOddly enough, i started to get the results I was looking for when I switched over to gluten-free flour. I’ll preface this by stating that I don’t consider these health food. yes they are vegan and gluten-free, but they do contain sugar and oil. So while they aren’t “health” food, they are a great treat when you want something other than kale chips or sugar-free granola. You could try making these using sugar substitutes like stevia, monk fruit, or coconut sugar. But unless you have a dietary restriction that prevents you from eating sugar, just enjoy a regular cookie once and a while. Especially when they’re still warm from the oven… oh my… A bunch of them never made it to the cooling rack. They’re also amazing dipped into a soy latte.

There is just something so incredibly comforting about freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. Its like snuggling up in a warm blanket on a crisp autumn day. They’re probably the baked good I have the hardest time resisting. I remember a few year back – OK more than a few, about 11 years ago – when I need to sublet my apartment in the city, I lined up a few visits for a sunny Saturday afternoon. Right before my visits started I baked a couple of trays of homemade chocolate chip cookies, and put them out for the potential renters. I had a new lease signed that afternoon… I think it was the cookies.

Gluten-Free Chocolate Chunk CookiesI brought a bag of these with me on a road trip to NYC a couple weeks back and they were awesome. Munching on these while sipping on a tall Starbucks latte made the long drive from Montreal quite enjoyable. Thankfully I had to make a few pit stops for gas, which gave me an opportunity to brush all the crumbs off my clothes. I would have arrived in the big city resembling the cookie monster…
