Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 teaspoon Pure peppermint extract
- 1 cup Gluten-free chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Optional: crushed peppermint candies or chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the gluten-free chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still appear slightly soft in the center.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies or chocolate shavings over the cookies while they are still warm for an extra festive touch.
Serve and enjoy your Gluten-Free Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or a warm cup of tea!
