With all the food restrictions recommended to endometriosis warriors, I new I had to find a way to enjoy the occasional treat.
I don’t believe in living a life full of constant restriction. But I do know that endo warriors, myself included, benefit from a gluten-free and dairy-free lifestyle. Additionally, many warriors find that a soy-free diet can be helpful.
This might have you believing that you can’t have your favorite cookie anymore. But I’m here to tell you that YOU CAN! So, today I am sharing my Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and Soy Free Chocolate Chip Cookies! ENJOY!
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cup All Purpose GF Flour Blend (1:1 ratio)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- ½ cup Pure Cane Sugar
- ¾ cup Soy-Free Vegan Butter (unsalted and melted)
- 2 egg whites
- 1 ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Whisk together the Flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- In second bowl, combine melted butter, sugars, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
- When combined, mix egg whites into wet ingredients.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and whisk together until a cookie dough is formed.
- Fold chocolate chips into batter until evenly distributed.
- Place cookie dough into a sealable container and set in refrigerator overnight. This helps to eliminate the gritty texture that happens with gluten-free flours.
- Next morning/day, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit when ready to bake cookies.
- Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide dough into 1 inch diameter balls then slightly flatten onto cookie sheet.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and leave on cookie sheet to cool.
Tips and Considerations
- Start by only baking 1-2 cookies to help determine the correct amount of time needed with your home oven.
- It’s worth the wait to leave the dough in the refrigerator overnight, but the cookies are still good if you want to make them immediately after preparing cookie dough.
- To get evenly baked cookies, rotate cookie sheet halfway through baking time.
- Pair with Cashew milk to get most amazing replication of conventional cookies and milk.
