"Adult" GF Soft Cookie Recipe

It's a rainy Saturday afternoon in Birmingham. I finished my exams yesterday and am feeling free! So I decided to bake. I had a few ideas but had a request from a good friend of mine for cookies so that's what I made!

One thing I miss being gluten free is soft cookies so I decided to play with a few non-gluten free recipes in the attempt to make a GF alternative.

I'm quite impressed with the outcome!

Adult GF Soft Cookies

125g soft margarine
150g light soft brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
150g GF flour
1 teaspoon GF baking powder
1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
A splash of milk
half pack of white chocolate chips
half a pack of milk chocolate chips

1. Cream the butter and the sugar
2. Beat in the egg and vanilla essence
3. Add the flour, baking powder and xanthan gum
4. Fold in with a metal spoon
5. Stir in enough milk to make into a smooth slightly runny dough
   
6. Mix in the chocolate chips
7. Divide into blobs and bake at 200C for 15 mins

I made 8 quite big cookies but I think I'd go for 12 medium size ones next time.

Make sure you spread them out well as they expand a lot on cooking.

Leave them on the baking tray to cool for 5 mins before transferring to a cooling rack.

Enjoy!
