Description

These Chocolaty Gluten-Free Brookies Cookies combine the rich flavor of cocoa with a soft, chewy texture that’s perfect for anyone craving a delicious treat without gluten. Made with a gluten-free flour blend, coconut oil, and a hint of vanilla, these cookies are rolled in powdered sugar and baked to perfection, offering a fudgy, brownie-like experience in cookie form.


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

  1. 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.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the melted coconut oil with the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Gradually stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until the dough is fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it until chilled to help with handling and shaping.
  5. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350º F (175º C) to prepare for baking.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
