Gluten Free Chocolate Chip, Raisin, Walnut Cookies image

These relatively healthy absolutely delicious chocolate chip cookies are a gluten-free adaptation of my favorite chocolate chip cookie. The raisins keep the cookies moist but they are hardly noticeable. It is easiest if you use a pre-made gluten free flour mix. Just about any mixture will do but I use Food Philosopher (registered) brown rice flour mixture and here is the breakdown of the ingredients that make up that mixture*: 1 1/2 cups brown rice flour 1/3 cup potato starch 8 teaspoons tapioca flour 1/2 teaspoon tapioca flour. I have had success with other gluten-free flour mixes but this one works the best for me.

Time 25m

Yield 32 cookies, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups brown rice flour, mix*
1/2 teaspoon baking soda, gluten-free
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 cup canola oil
1 large egg
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C (375 degrees F).
  • Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl. (Use a stand mixer if available.).
  • Mix the oil, egg and sugars until pale and creamy looking. Add the vanilla and water.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined. If the chocolate chips fall out of the dough, add a little more water.
  • Using two spoons, drop small walnut sized piles of the mixture onto Teflon or baking-paper-lined oven sheets, leaving about 4-5cm between each to allow spreading as they cook.
  • Place, one tray at a time, in the middle of the oven and bake for 10-11 minutes until not quite golden brown. Be careful not to overcook, they are still tasty but crumbly.
  • Cool on baking tray for a few minutes, then on racks until completely cool before transferring to an airtight container for storage. They keep well for a few days, otherwise store in the freezer.
