GLUTEN FREE CHOCOLATE CHIP, RAISIN, WALNUT COOKIES



Gluten Free Chocolate Chip, Raisin, Walnut Cookies image

These relatively healthy absolutely delicious chocolate chip cookies are a gluten-free adaptation of my favorite chocolate chip cookie. The raisins keep the cookies moist but they are hardly noticeable. It is easiest if you use a pre-made gluten free flour mix. Just about any mixture will do but I use Food Philosopher (registered) brown rice flour mixture and here is the breakdown of the ingredients that make up that mixture*: 1 1/2 cups brown rice flour 1/3 cup potato starch 8 teaspoons tapioca flour 1/2 teaspoon tapioca flour. I have had success with other gluten-free flour mixes but this one works the best for me.

Time 25m

Yield 32 cookies, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups brown rice flour, mix*
1/2 teaspoon baking soda, gluten-free
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 cup canola oil
1 large egg
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C (375 degrees F).
  • Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl. (Use a stand mixer if available.).
  • Mix the oil, egg and sugars until pale and creamy looking. Add the vanilla and water.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined. If the chocolate chips fall out of the dough, add a little more water.
  • Using two spoons, drop small walnut sized piles of the mixture onto Teflon or baking-paper-lined oven sheets, leaving about 4-5cm between each to allow spreading as they cook.
  • Place, one tray at a time, in the middle of the oven and bake for 10-11 minutes until not quite golden brown. Be careful not to overcook, they are still tasty but crumbly.
  • Cool on baking tray for a few minutes, then on racks until completely cool before transferring to an airtight container for storage. They keep well for a few days, otherwise store in the freezer.

Yield 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup almond flour
3/4 cup brown rice flour
3/4 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum*

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Whisk all of the flours, the cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and xanthan gum together in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Reduce the speed to low and slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Add the chips and stir to combine.

Bake the cookies in two batches, two sheets at a time, until the cookies are set and just beginning to crack slightly on top, 13 to 14 minutes. Rotate the sheets halfway through for even baking.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 2 minutes, and then remove to a rack and cool completely.

CHOCOLATE RAISIN BISCUITS- GLUTEN FREE OR NOT



Chocolate Raisin Biscuits- Gluten Free or Not image

These are great biscuits. They are very rich and my whole family love them. I usually make a double batch so that I can keep some for later. The recipe was in the "Super Food Ideas" magazine in 2004. You can make them lactose free by using dark chocolate and a lactose free margarine, such as Nuttelex. Feedback from review by Polly_Waffle_kid- these biscuits have been made on regular wheat flour and turned out perfectly. (My thanks to you PWK:) )
