Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Caramel Cookies

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Yield:14 1 ½ tbsp. sized cookies, or 19 1 tbsp. sized cookie

Ingredients:

• ½ cup (115g) butter, at room temperature
• ½ cup organic coconut palm sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
• 105g (¾ cup) gluten free flour blend
• 30 grams (1/4 cup) dark cocoa
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• ½ tsp xanthan gum, if your gluten free flour does not include it

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
2. Cream together butter and sugar. (I use a Kitchen Aid mixer. This makes a really sticky tough dough that might be difficult to mix by hand.
3. Add egg and vanilla and mix to combine.
4. In a separate bowl sift together gluten free flour, dark cocoa, baking soda, salt and xanthan gum if using. Mix to combine about 1-2 minutes until dough is combined. It will be sticky and a bit glossy.
5. Scoop dough and place on cookie sheet. Flatten with your hands or a small measuring cup (coat your hands with a bit of oil if they stick.
6. Bake cookies for 12-13 minutes. Cool on rack..
7. Drizzle with Caramel Sauce if desired. Find that recipe by clicking here

I sprinkled mine with Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
