Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Kicks

My son is such a chocolate lover that he would pick the choc chips out of his cookies and leave the cookie.

I tried adding nuts to his choc chip cookies and he then ate the cookies and nuts and still left the cookie part!

He is a very picky child, so I started playing around with some old pre-GFCF recipes and after several trials and errors have my first recipe.

Warning...this is very rich.

Ingredients

8 oz Nestle Choco Bake (or 8 oz melted unsweetened chocolate squares)
8 T granulated sugar
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup softened GFCF margarine
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sorghum flour
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1/4 tsp GFCF baking powder
2 cups chopped nuts
8 oz semisweet GFCF choc chunks or about 1-1/2 cups GFCF choc chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°.
Stir together chocobake, sugar, brown sugar, margarine, eggs and vanilla.
When smooth, stir in flour, xanthan gum and baking powder.
Then, add nuts and choc pieces.
Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake about 12-14 minutes (will be puffy, yet set to touch).
Cool on cookie sheet 1-2 minutes and then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Makes about 2 dozen large cookies.

We call them chocolate "kicks" because that is how Dallas prounounces the word "cookies".

Notes:

I used sorghum as this is our flour of choice around here, but I'm sure Hagman's mix or any other combo would work. I'm sure you could also leave out the nuts.

This was really easy to make, never even pulled out my mixer.
