Gluten Free Dairy Free Cookies
Description
Gluten Free Dairy Free Cookies combine coconut oil with almond and coconut flours to create a tender, gluten-free dough. The recipe includes baking soda for leavening and uses dairy-free chocolate chips folded in gently to maintain texture. After mixing, the dough must be refrigerated for several hours to firm up, which is essential for the right baking consistency. Baking at 350°F, the cookies set with lightly golden edges while remaining soft inside. Cooling on the pan before transferring helps prevent breaking. These cookies store best refrigerated, allowing them to keep a crisp texture, while room temperature storage softens them.
The coconut oil should be softened, not melted, to combine well with sugar and eggs. The dough scooped into balls will spread easily but maintain a nice shape without flattening before baking. The use of almond flour gives structure and a nutty flavor, complemented by the coconut flour's absorbency. Baking time varies between 9 to 12 minutes depending on oven and cookie size but watch for set middles to ensure softness without underbaking.
Serving these cookies chilled enhances their crispness, making them a good snack or treat for those on gluten-free or dairy-free diets. The recipe suggests using Enjoy Life dark chocolate chips or other dairy-free alternatives for best results. Store leftovers in the refrigerator or freeze for longer keeping.
