These little gluten free cookies are addictive!
Yes…I tried to have just one but kept coming back for more!
I know, I know everything in moderation but….
these cookies are just too good!!
And they are easy to make!
…and gluten free!
Everything you would want in a cookie!
(All you need is a nice glass of milk or coffee to go with them.)
These cookies are soft in the middle and just melt in your mouth,
with a little surprise of chocolate…
and the crunch of Chia seeds.
Adding the Chia seeds is my way of adding the ‘healthy’ part to a cookie.
This is a great way to introduce Chia seeds to your family. 🙂
The reason for sharing this recipe is to show that often the simplest of recipes
can add a bit of sparkle to your day.
It doesn’t need to be a fancy or a really involved recipe to give you that comfort feeling of ‘home baking’.
or to surprise your family with a special treat.
Very often it is the simple things that make the day…
…Oh! …and they taste great too! 😉
…very tempting, aren’t they !!
Recipe for Gluten Free Choc Chip and Chia Cookies
Chia Cookies and Choc Chip Cookies - Gluten Free!
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Soft, buttery cookies with the smoothness of chocolate and the crunch of chia seeds!
Recipe type: Cookies
Ingredients
- 125 g of soft butter
- ¾ cup of caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 1½ cup of plain gluten free flour - I use Orgran GF plain flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- ½ cup of choc chips
- 2 tablespoons of chia seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius - moderate oven
- Cream butter and sugar in an electric mixer till fluffy.
- Add flour, baking powder, choc chips and chia seeds.
- Mix until it all comes together into a dough. (I leave mine in the fridge for about 10 mins and then they are easier to roll into balls.)
- Roll into tablespoon size balls with your hands and place them on a baking tray lined with grease proof paper (baking paper) and flatten them with the back of a spoon.
- Bake at 180 degrees celsius until golden (about 15 mins...but watch them and take them out when they just start to turn golden. This way you will have buttery, soft cookies!)
- Let them cool, so they set...but you should try one while they are warm... 🙂 (Just perfect!!)
You could leave the cookie dough as little round balls if you want more of a ‘cookie bite’ or using the back of the spoon, flatten them to get a traditional cookie shape.
‘….I just had one little bite, mum’….said my son! 😉
