Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies With Honey
Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies With Honey fell into my hands exactly when I thought I had tried every possible way to make chocolate chip cookies. Cookies, especially chocolate chip cookies, have been my favorite dessert since childhood.
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.
