Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodles
by: claire cary
These brown butter chocolate chip snickerdoodles are like three cookies in one! With a rich buttery flavor, lots of cinnamon and chocolate chips, these gluten free snickerdoodles are a one bowl, family favorite recipe.
Ingredients
Wet
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry
- 1 ⅓ cups gluten free all purpose baking flour
- 2 teaspoons tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
For rolling
- ¼ cup sanding sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Cut the butter into 1 inch cubes and add to a pot over medium/low heat.
- Once melted, stir fairly continuously for about about 5 minutes while it sizzles.
- It will turn golden brown and the milk solids at the bottom will be toasty brown. Remove from the heat and transfer to a heat safe bowl and place in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
- Once it has cooled, add to a mixing bowl with both sugars and cream for 1 minute.
- Add in the egg and vanilla and beat for an additional 20 seconds.
- Add in all dry ingredients, aside from the chocolate chips, and mix until well combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Mix the sanding sugar and cinnamon in a small dish.
- Use a 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoon cookie scoop and scoop into balls.
- Roll in the cinnamon sugar and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Set all the dough balls in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
- Ensure you have enough space between each cookie for spreading, then bake for 11-14 minutes or until golden brown on the edges. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- I like to use these round cookie cutters to create perfect circles and swivel around the cookie as soon as they come out of the oven.
- Let cool on the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!
Notes
Dark brown sugar will also work if that's what you have on hand.
