Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten free flour blend
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ¼ cups cane sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder (aluminum-free)
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut oil, melted
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Finishing
- Powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend, unsweetened cocoa powder, cane sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the melted coconut oil with the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until the dough is fully incorporated and smooth.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it until chilled to help with handling and shaping.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350º F (175º C) to prepare for baking.
- Shape the Cookies: Use a cookie scoop to portion the chilled dough into balls. Sprinkle powdered sugar on the dough chunks and roll each into a ball, then gently press each ball flat to about 1 inch thickness using a glass or your hand.
- Bake: Place the shaped cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly soft but fully cooked through.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure that your gluten free flour blend includes xanthan gum or a similar binder for best texture.
- Do not overbake the cookies; they should remain slightly soft in the center.
- Rolling the dough balls in powdered sugar adds a sweet, delicate crust contrasting with the fudgy interior.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- These cookies can be frozen before baking; just thaw and bake as directed.
