ALTON BROWN’S GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
This recipe by Alton Brown has frequently been mentioned to us by those in the gluten-free community as being one of the best chocolate chip cookie recipes out there, never mind they are gluten-free!
So, of course, we had to test it for all of our gluten-free Blender Babes out there! Our lovely Recipe Tester Cindy LOVES to bake, using her Blendtec as a mixer since she has both the Fourside and Wildside Jar.
If you have just a Fourside jar, pour the wet ingredients into a mixing bowl with the dry ingredients to incorporate by hand the way you do with a Vitamix.
If you are also egg free and dairy-free, you can modify this recipe with an egg substitute & use 1/2 the amount of coconut milk (1 tablespoon) instead of the whole milk.
Also if you have a scale use it, as the dry measurements are slightly different than the weight measurements. The recipe makes a large chocolate chip cookie, we like to place ice cream in the middle for a chocolate chip cookie sandwich, but we also enjoy making these smaller cookies – perfect as a sweet scooby snack!
