You will need:

  • Microwave safe bowl

Ingredients:

185g of Butter

1 cup Brown sugar

1/3 cup Caster sugar

1 1/2 cups of Self raising gluten free flour mix

1 cup plain gluten free flour mix

2 Tbs of cocoa powder

2 Eggs

200g Dark Choc bits

1 Tbs Vanilla Essence

  3. Add eggs and vanilla essence to butter mix
  4. Pour butter mix into combined flour and sugar, stir til all ingredients are moist and well combined.

  6. Place in oven for 15-18mins, do second batch.

Tips and Suggestions:

  • I use White Wings Gluten free flour mixes - close in consitency to most other flours
  • Try using white choc chips, nuts, smarties or break up your favourite choc bar and add!
  • Can add mint instead of vanilla essence
  • You dont really need to sift gluten free flour as it doesnt have same consitency/properities as most flours traditionally do
  • Change choc bits to fruit chuncks for variety (just remember to remove cocoa too!)
  • Cookies run or are very thin?? Try adding 1/4-1/2 cup of Rice Flour this will help them keep their shape.
