Makes 20-25 medium cookies
Ingredients
1/2 cup plus 1/2 tablespoon butter, softened
1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt or milk (can substitute in water)
1 egg
1-1/4 cups of all-purpose gluten-free flour (I like Bob's Red Mill gluten
free 1-to-1 baking flour). Be sure that it contains xanthan gum.
1/3 cup of almond flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Then add in whatever flavorings you have/like! Examples: - chocolate
chips or chopped up chocolate - oats - dried fruit - tree nuts and/or
peanuts - coconut flakes - caramel chunks - broken up candy bits -
marshmallows and graham crackers - cinnamon and sugar.
Method
1. Preheat oven to 350F or ~180C. Use the 1/2 tablespoon of butter
to grease the cookie sheet.
2. Combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking soda, and salt in a
medium to large bowl until evenly combined and without chunks.
3. Add in the yogurt/milk, brown sugar, white sugar, egg, and vanilla.
Mix until smooth.
4. Add in your chosen flavorings. Mix until evenly distributed in the
dough.
5. Scoop the cookie dough into ~2 tablespoon-sized portions and
place on your cookie sheet, leaving enough room to ensure the
dough does not spread into the surrounding cookies.
6. Cook in oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown on the
edges.
7. Poke the cookies in the middle to ensure they are fully cooked.
8. Enjoy individually or with loved ones!
With this recipe, you can make a diverse range of
cookie types with whatever you have in your
kitchen cabinet. This recipe is increasingly helpful
now that we are all trying to make fewer trips to
the market. I hope that it can spark some
delicious and unique cookie-combos!
Can make dairy free by substituting the butter for dairy free
“butter,” and by substituting the yogurt/milk for water or a
yogurt/milk substitute.
Can make nut free but substituting the almond flour for more allpurpose
flour.
You can put cookies in the freezer to maintain freshness for
longer.
