Choco-Raisin Gluten Free Cookies

These cookies are delicious! I understand how hard it is to be Gluten-free, because being a Vegan is pretty tough too. This recipe is fairly basic and most Gluten-free folks already have most of these ingredients on hand! If you want a little extra moisture, add a couple TBSP of soy milk to the mixture. Enjoy!


Ingredients

Makes 3 dozen

3/4 cup butter, softened (I use Smart Balance or Earth Balance)
1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar (this is available in Splenda if necessary)
1/4 cup white sugar (also available in Splenda substitute)
1 tsp Gluten-free Vanilla extract (I use McCormicks or Neilson-Massey Brand)
1/4 cup applesauce (unsweetened) You can use Egg Substitute if you prefer (1/4 cup)
2 1/4 cup Gluten Free Baking Mix (Now Foods brand or King Arthur brand)
1 tsp baking soda
1.5 tsp baking powder
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup Raisins (SunMaid are gluten free)


Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonfat cooking spray.

In a medium-sized bowl cream the butter and sugar. Gradually add replacement egg or applesauce and vanilla while mixing. Sift together gluten- free flour mix, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir into the butter mixture until blended. Lastly, stir in the chocolate chips and raisins.

Use a tsp and drop the cookies 2 inches apart onto your baking sheet. Bake for about 6-8 minutes or until the cookies are a very light brown. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before you place them on a wire rack...or into your mouth. :)
