Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 100 grams Brown sugar (packed)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 tablespoon Orange juice
- 150 grams Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer or a whisk.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice to the butter mixture. Mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or stirring with a spatula until a dough forms.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) of space between each cookie.
Gently flatten the cookies with the back of a spoon for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these cookies fresh or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
