Expert Baking Tips on how to make these white cookies with chocolate chips

• Although these choc chip gluten free cookies are super simple to make, here are just a few expert tips I'd recommend:
• In this recipe for chocolate mint cookies. Cream the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients well for 4-5 minutes until it comes together into a dough. You'll be tempted to add more liquid. Don't, it's not needed and will ruin the consistency of your cookies. Just stick with it and it will come together.
• Used chopped chocolate instead of chocolate chips so the chocolate is more spread out throughout the cookies.
• The marshmallows will rise in the oven and spread, to keep the cookies tidy and in shape use a round cookie cutter to nudge them into shape.

Ingredients - recipe gluten free cookies

Gluten-Free Plain Flour – this is paired with a teaspoon of xanthan gum to give more stability to the cookies to prevent them from crumbling. However, if you’d prefer not to make these gluten-free simply substitute the gluten-free flour for normal plain flour. There’s also no need to add xanthan gum. As the gluten in the normal flour will prevent the cookies from crumbling.

Butter – This can either be normal block butter or vegan block butter. At room temperature to be creamed into the sugars. 

Caster sugar – I like to use caster sugar in my cookies which is just very refined sugar. So if you can’t find caster sugar I’d recommend using very refined granulated sugar.

Light Brown sugar - This helps create a chewy cookie by preventing retaining some of the cookies moisture

FAQs - Chocolate gluten free cookies

How to make cookies crispy ?

The key to a crispy cookie is to make small cookie dough balls and baking them for a minute or two extra to get a crisp edge and slightly softer center

Are gluten free cookies healthy ?

Unfortunately, a snack being gluten free doesn't mean it’s healthy, it simply means it doesn't contain gluten and gluten is just a protein found mainly in bread. The remaining ingredients in this snack is where the ‘is it healthy’ question comes into play. If it contains high volumes of sugar and fat then that snack is NOT healthy even if it doesn't contain gluten. 

However, this doesn't mean you can’t eat these things at all. It just means have them in moderation alongside a well balanced diet and exercise 🙂 

Are gluten free cookies too crumbly ?

You will tend to find a lot of gluten free cookies can be extremely crumbly, but one way to avoid these is to add a teaspoon of xanthan gum to the batter when adding in your flour. As this acts as a stabilizer and prevents it from crumbling.

Can I make these choc chip gluten free cookies with margarine ?

Unfortunately, if you use margarine in this recipe it will result in more crunchy, thin cookies because it has a higher percentage of water compared to block butter, causing it to spread more. I do, however, have more gluten free cookies recipes that use margarine, check out the recipes here.

How to make cookies gooey ?

For gooey white chocolate chip cookies, simply reduce the baking time by 3 minutes - this allows enough time for the egg in the dough to be cooked through and still have a slightly gooey, soft interior.

Storing and freezing - cookies with mint chocolate chips
