Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups 371 grams gfJules™ All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
- 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated cane sugar
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. gluten-free baking powder
- /4 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. gluten-free vanilla extract
PLUS
- 1/2 cup butter or non-dairy alternative Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks
- 1/2 cup mild oil or shortening Spectrum Organic Palm Oil Shortening
- 2 large eggs or egg substitute like Ener-G®
- 8-10 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips peanut butter chips or a mixture thereof (Chocolate Dream® Baking Chips – dairy-free; Pascha Allergen-Free Chips OR Enjoy Life® Mini Chips – dairy, nut and soy-free)
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans optional
Instructions
- Bring the butter to room temperature, then beat together with oil/shortening and sugars until light and fluffy – several minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract and eggs until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (or add my gfJules™ Original Cookie Mix). Gradually stir these dry ingredients into the sugar mixture. Stir in chips and nuts, if so desired.
- If using my gfJules™ Original Cookie Mix, you can bake the cookies immediately. If baking from scratch, cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Scoop out 1/4 to 1/2 cup of dough (depending on how large you want your cookies) onto parchment lined cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches for spread. If using English Muffin rings, place a scoop of dough in the center of each ring.
- Preheat oven to 350° F (static) or 325° F (convection).
- Bake jumbo cookies for 15 minutes, or until the middles look cooked but still soft. As the cookies cool, they will firm up but remain chewy, but if you leave the cookie in the oven until it is hard, it will be a “Chips a Hoy”-style crunchy cookie.
- Makes approximately 24 jumbo gluten free cookies, depending on size.
- Decorate or frost with this easy dairy-free homemade frosting recipe.
