What are the Key Ingredients of These Gluten Free Soft Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies?
Ground Flax – Ground flax is essential in making these cookies hold together. I also upped the amount of ground flax to create a soft and chewy cookie. If you want a great price on Ground Flax you can check it out on Amazon and use my affiliate link to help support Eat or Drink.
Sorghum Flour – The sorghum flour works great in this recipe. It creates a sturdy cookie that is also chewy and soft.
Tapioca Flour – If you just used sorghum flour your cookies would be dry and crumbly. Adding tapioca flour (also known as tapioca starch) helps this gluten free cookie not feel so gluten free.
Brown Sugar + Granulated Sugar – The combination of Brown and White sugar creates the perfect cookie. The brown sugar softens the cookie and adds a rich flavor. The granulated sugar helps really caramelize the cookie and give that beautiful slightly crisp bottom.
Dairy Free Butter – Butter is essential in most cookies. Dairy Free Butter works just the same. My favorite brands are Miyokos and Earth Balance. If you’re on a budget Smart Balance works fine too.
Pure Vanilla Extract – This cookie would not be complete without some good quality pure vanilla extract. You can find it on Amazon here through my Amazon Affiliate link.
Dairy Free Chocolate Chips – A lot of brands have great dairy free chocolate chips now. If cross contamination is a concern I suggest Enjoy Life. If cross contamination is not a concern you can find dairy free chocolate chips for a cheap price at both Trader Joe’s and Wegman’s.
