Ok I have now tasted and tried a number of Gluten Free items and have a huge issue... the texture. Ugh. I have done some research on my own and after a lot of reading of my own cookbooks and food chemistry books... I think I have it!
The last few weeks I have been messing around with my own mixture for a GF baking mix. Now I know mine has oatmeal flour in it and that is up for debate in the GF world so if you have an issue to it ditch it. Not a big deal that I can real tell, other than, to me, an earthly taste to the baked item.
1 cup of unsalted butter (2 sticks)
3/4 cup of sugar
3/4 cup of brown sugar
3 large eggs
1.5 tsp of vanilla
1 tsp of baking soda
1 tsp of baking powder
2 tsp of guar gum
1 tsp of kosher salt
2.25 cups of GF baking mix (recipe below)
1 package of mini chocolate chips (or whatever flavor and style you want)
My GF baking mix:
I make up a big container of this and then use it almost cup per cup to flour. If you can't tolerate oats just take the oatmeal flour out. I didn't notice a difference mouth feel wise. I keep this in a container in my pantry area where it is cool and kind of dark.
2 cup of brown rice flour
2/3 cup potato starch
1/3 cup tapioca flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup oatmeal flour
Cookie time:
Cream together butter and sugar. Once light and fluffy add eggs once at a time and then the vanilla. Scrape down the bowl and then added baking soda, baking powder, guar gum, and salt and mix. Then add in slowly 3/4 of cup at a time the flour scraping down the bowl after adding the flour mixture. Then stir in by hand the chocolate chips.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake on the middle rack to 8 to 11 mins. I pull them out while they are a little gooey in the middle since I like a softer cookie. For a crispier cookie leave in till done in the middle. if you would like your cookies puffier- use 1/2 cup of butter and shortening.
I hope to have photos later if I can get Jeremy's cell to take a photo since Annabelle broke my camera. **A friend who tested out the cookies for me took some photos of them for me... so ignore the Christmas plate :)
