Just in case some people need ideas for GF cookies - we have one converted:
I altered
the recipe a little to suit our preferences and it was YUMMO. Everyone agreed of course! Here's our version:
125g butter, chopped
2 tsp vanilla extract (homemade - vanilla beans in brandy)
250 - 275g rapadura sugar
1 egg
185g flour (I used
spelt today*)
1.5 tsp bicarb soda
40g organic cocoa powder
90g organic sultanas
100g organic cashews, raw
180g dark chocolate (couveture - bulk bought with rapadura, cocoa, cocoa butter and lecithin as only ingredients)
Place chopped chocolate into TM bowl, turn the dial to close lid position and pulse once for 2 seconds using the turbo button. Check to see if it has broken up enough. If not, pulse again.
Add cashews and pulse a further 2 times. Tip into a bowl and set aside.
Without washing the TM bowl, combine butter, vanilla, sugar and egg on speed 4 for 20 sec or until smooth.
Add flour, bicarb soda and cocoa and mix on speed 4 until combined. As the mixture thickens you may need to increase the speed or use the spatula to assist incorperation.
Stir through remaining ingredients on reverse-speed 4 until well mixed. Again using spatula if needed.
Place tablespoonfuls of mixture onto a tray and bake for 8-10 min at 180ºC. Allow to cool for 5 min on the tray to set.
Tips: For fudgy cookies cook for 8 min. Cookies will be soft when removed from the oven but will harden as they cool. For crunchy cookies cook for 10 min.
My family thanks you, Sheree!
