By Heather Hahn @HeatherHahnn

I hope that everyone is having an amazing day so far.


So, recently I posted a picture that over the weekend, I had made “Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies“, and well…ever since then, a lot of you have been asking for the own personal recipe!

Having currently discussed that I have been diagnosed with, “Hypothyroidism“, in my previous YouTube video on my channel, I currently have to stay away from a lot of foods, and obtain a very strict diet. One of those being, that I basically have to have anything and everything, well…”Gluten Free“.

So, over this weekend, I made homemade gluten free chocolate chip cookies, and I figured that since many of you have been asking for the recipe, that I would share it with you all!

Ingredients:

+ 8 ounces unsalted butter
+ 11 ounces brown rice flour, approximately 2 cups
+ 1 1/4 ounces cornstarch, approximately 1/4 cup
+ 1/2 -ounce tapioca flour, approximately 2 tablespoons
+ 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
+ 1 teaspoon kosher salt
+ 1 teaspoon baking soda
+ 2 ounces sugar, approximately 1/4 cup
+ 10 ounces light brown sugar, approximately 1 1/4 cups
+ 1 whole egg
+ 1 egg yolk
+ 2 tablespoons whole milk
+ 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
+ 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

+ Melt the butter in a heavy-bottom medium saucepan over low heat.

+ Once melted, pour into the bowl of a stand mixer.

+ In a medium bowl, sift together the rice flour, cornstarch, tapioca flour, xantham gum, salt and baking soda. Then set aside.

+ Add both of the sugars to the bowl with the butter and using the paddle attachment, cream together on medium speed for 1 minute.

+ Add the whole egg, egg yolk, milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.

+ Chill the dough in the refrigerator until firm, approximately 1 hour.

+ Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

+ Shape the dough into 2-ounce balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 cookies per sheet.

+ Bake for 14 minutes, rotating the pans after 7 minutes for even baking.

+ Remove from the oven and cool the cookies on the pans for 2 minutes.

+ Move the cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.
