Ingredients Required For GF Choc-Chip Cookies
This gf cookie recipe requires only simple ingredients, but if you’re wanting to try substituting here, I’m just going to go ahead and explain what each ingredients role is here:
- Butter – you can use either salted, or unsalted butter. Salted butter adds some extra flavor, but unsalted butter works too, and you can always had a little salt to taste (I do). Melting the butter, rather than just softening it, works best too.
- Brown sugar – adds moisture to give the cookies a chewy center and a delicious caramelly taste.
- Granulated white sugar – (aka ‘white sugar/caster sugar). White sugar caramelizes faster, and helps to give the cookies their crispy edges.
- Baking Soda – this gives the cookie a chewy, doughy center.
- Gluten-Free Flour: any gluten-free all-purpose flour (aka ‘gf plain flour’) works well here, and provides the base of these cookies.
- Vanilla extract – you don’t even need the posh vanilla extract here. The vanilla extract works as a seasoning, helping to bring out the flavor of the other ingredients.
- An egg – not only does the egg enrich the flavors, but the yolk in particular acts as an emulsifier to bind all the cookie ingredients together.
- Chocolate Chips – choose chips of your choice, and level of sweetness, or simply whatever you have on hand.
