Gluten-Free Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie

#22

My friend asked if I would make her some gluten-free cookies....uh, YES!

This gluten-free treat is this week's cookie.

When is salted caramel and chocolate NOT a good thing? It's always a good thing.

Excellent cookie!

Ingredients

• 2 Cups gluten free all purpose flour * see notes
• 3/4 Cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 Cups unsalted butter * softened
• 2 Cups granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 Cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 Cup Kraft caramel squares * diced small (chip size)
• kosher salt * or flake salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the gluten free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
3. Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of an electric mixer. Cream together on medium speed until completely smooth. Lower the speed and add the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
5. Stir in the chocolate chips and salted caramel pieces.
6. Drop by the tablespoon full about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet (I use a Silpat Mat to prevent sticking)
7. Bake 9-10 minutes until cooked through.
8. Remove from the oven and sprinkle on the salt.
9. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to prevent breakage
