Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter softened
  • 1 cup Light brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Sorghum flour
  • 1 cup Brown rice flour
  • ¼ cup Cocoa
  • ¼ cup Coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon Baking powder
  • Red food colouring
  • 2 cup Milk chocolate chips (1 bag)

Instructions

  • In stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
  • Add eggs, milk, and vanilla, beat until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.
  • In a large bowl, mix together remaining ingredients - except food colouring and chocolate chips. Slowly add this dry mix to the mixer bowl, and carefully mix until well incorporated and smooth.
  • Use food colouring to tint the batter to your desired level of red, then mix in the chocolate chips.
  • Wrap dough in plastic, chill for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375F (190 C), line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll 1" balls out of the cookie dough. Arrange dough balls on baking sheets leaving at least 2" between cookies - they flatten out a fair amount.
  • Gently press the tops of each slightly - flatten JUST enough to prevent the dough from rolling.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes.
  • Cookies will look puffy, but flatten out as they cool. Do not over bake!

Notes

Note: This recipe originally called for 1 cup Sorghum flour, 1 cup Brown rice flour, ¼ cup Coconut flour, and 2 tablespoon Tapioca starch.
In 2023, it was updated to use my now-standard “cookie” set of flours, simplifying it a bit.
