Choc Pecan Cookies Gluten Free Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, cocoa, and salt. Stir in chocolate and pecans. Add egg whites and stir just until incorporated (do not overmix).
• Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls, 3 inches apart, onto 2 parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets. Bake until cookie tops are dry and crackled, about 25 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer sheets to wire racks and let cookies cool completely. (To store, keep in an airtight container, up to 3 days.)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C if fan forced). Grease oven trays and line with baking paper.
• Process the 1.5 cups of pecan pieces until ground finely.
• Beat the butter, sugar, vanilla and pecan meal in a small bowl with an electic mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
• Add the egg and beat until combined.
• Sift in the flours and then add the chopped chocolate.
• Roll rounded tablespoons of the mixture into balls. Place 7cm apart on the trays and flatten slighty. Top with a whole pecan.
• Bake about 20 minutes and cool on trays.
• Drizzle the cookies with melted chocolate.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
• 2. In a large bowl, mix together oil, sugars, egg, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high about 3 minutes - break up any brown sugar lumps.
• 3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, salt, and baking soda. Fold flour mixture into egg & sugar mixture until combined.
• 4. Fold in chocolate chips, coconut, and pecans (dough will be slightly loose).
• 5. Spoon heaping tablespoons of dough onto lined cookie sheets about 2" apart.
• 6. Bake at 350°F for 11 - 12 minutes, or until they're browned around edges.
• 7. Let cookies cool on pans for three minutes, and then move to wire rack to cool completely.
• NOTES:.
• I use Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free Baking Flour with great success. I also use Bob's Red Mill gluten free oats but Quaker gluten free oats work equally well.
• NOTES: Applesauce adds needed moisture and "chewy" mouth feel to gluten free cookies, and you wont taste the applesauce.
• NOTES: I use unsweetened coconut but if all you have is sweetened coconut then use that (same portion) but decrease granulated sugar in recipe by about 1 tablespoon.
