Well, another gluten free chocolate chip recipe...what's the big deal? Well, let me tell you...these are good, really really really good. Like pretty close to what I remember the gluten-y version being, although according to my Mom who still eats gluten, sometimes my memory fails me - which I don't necessarily think is a bad thing.
I hvae tried 5 or 6 other gluten free, some grain free and some lower carb cookies, and none of them can hold a candle to my newest recipe interation. I think if you wanted them to be dairy free, you could use coconut oil instead of the butter, quite successfully, and if there are dairy free chocolate chips? (I don't know) you could use those too...or use cranberries, or raisens, or whatever cookie add-in you dearly miss! The best part about these cookies is that they are soft on the inside and won't just crumble when you take a bite...plus the flavor, OMG the flavor. Delcious!
If you try these, please let me know what you think...becuase in my humble opinion, these are the best gluten free, grain free and low carb (they don't taste it...promise) chocolate chip cookies I have ever had. These are definitely going on our family Christmas cookie list...
Gluten & Grain Free, Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 stick of unsalted butter
1/3 c Splenda granular
1/4 tsp (40 drops) nunaturals liquid stevia (sugar equivalent to 1/3 cup)
1/2 tsp molasses (optional)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup+2 Tbsp almond flour
2 Tbsp coconut flour
1/4 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp kosher salt
2/3 cup dark chocolate chips (use sugar free, should you so choose, to make them entirely sugar free)
2/3 cup nuts, chopped (I used walnut)
Cream softened butter, stevia and Splenda. Add vanilla, molasses and eggs. Beat until combined. Add dry ingredients, except nuts and cups and blend well. Add nuts and chocolate chips.
Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Enjoy!
What a treat!
Very good!!! I used erythritol instead of Splenda but otherwise followed your lead. Gonna use your base to experiment next time with some coconut or other add-ins. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed them. I have switched to using erythritol instead of Splenda too! :)
