I’ve tried chocolate chip cookies with vegan ingredients, gluten-free ingredients, with eggs and without eggs, nuts and no nuts, chopped candy and marshmallows, and even different sweeteners. But somehow, I am pretty sure I missed using honey.
Some refer to honey as liquid gold and a superfood because of its healing properties.
So here it is…
And are they good? They most certainly are, and not just for gluten-free folks; you can easily switch out the gluten-free flour for all-purpose.
To Make Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies With Honey, You Will Need These Ingredients:
- Salted butter
- Granulated sugar ~ cane or beet
- Brown sugar
- Honey
- Vanilla
- Salt
- Baking soda
- Baking powder- corn-free if needed
- Apple cider vinegar
- Milk or a non-dairy substitute
- Gluten-free flour blend ~ I used King Arthur Measure-For-Measure Gluten-Free Flour
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips ~ allergy-friendly, such as Enjoy Life, if needed
- Finely chopped walnuts ~ optional; omit for nut-free
Here Are A Few Allergy-Friendly Tips:
- Choose a gluten-free flour blend that includes Xanthan gum or guar gum. If the blend does not include one of these, add 1/2 tsp of either. Guar gum is corn-free and recommended for Low FODMAP diets.
- Add either semi-sweet chocolate chips or 1 cup of mini and 1 cup of regular. Enjoy Life and Nestle are my two favorite allergy-friendly brands. Both brands are gluten-free, vegan, and soy-free.
