New Year, Same Us

New healthy diet for the new year? Nah. Honestly, chocolate cookies are better than greens...especially these cookies. An improvement on the chocolate cookies from our housewarming party, they really keep their chocolate chunks and taste incredible! I couldn't even get a picture of them before they were all gone!



Chocolate Chocolate Cookies

1 1/2 cups gluten free all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon xanthum gum
115 g butter
24 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped (or you can buy chocolate chips)
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Heat oven to 190 C and line 2 baking sheets with parchment baking paper. In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and xanthum gum. In a microwave safe bowl, microwave the butter and half the chocolate until melted (on 30 second intervals, stirring between each). Whisk the sugar, eggs, and vanilla into the chocolate mixture. Slowly add this to the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in the remaining chocolate. Let cool for 15 minutes. Scoop in heaping tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, placing 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through, until the edges are hard and the tops have cracked. Cool on wire rack (though best eaten warm and gooey!).
