Connie’s Gluten Free Chewy Chocolate Pecan Cookie

Hi Friends,

It is such a delight and brings me GREAT JOY to share these videos with y’all! This has been such a special time for Kristin and me. We LOVE spending time together in the kitchen making videos & working on the blog.

These cookies may not look very pretty, but they are crowd pleasers.  With all my gluten-free recipes, I spend a lot of time, sometimes months & months, developing a recipe that I feel good about sharing.

So, I hope you’ll watch the video and most of all, I hope you’ll try these cookies.   Let me know what you think, ok?    My email is:  conniestrufflehouse@gmail.com

I love this unsweetened cocoa powder.
This will take your cookies to the next level!

Connie’s Gluten Free Chewy Chocolate Pecan Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 c. powdered sugar (sift if you have time)
• ¾ c. unsweetened  cocoa powder  (sift if you have time)
• ½ tsp coarse salt
• 1-2 tsps. corn starch
• 4 lg egg whites at room temperature
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 4 oz. of a mixture of dark, semi-sweet & milk (or bittersweet, too)

HOW TO MAKE IT:

1. Preheat oven to 350.   Line cookie sheets with parchment paper, lightly spray or grease.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, cocoa, salt & corn starch.   Whisk together lightly until blended.
3. Lightly whisk egg whites and vanilla together.  Add to sugar mixture.  Stir till well blended, but don’t over mix.   Scrape down sides to get all the yummy bits from the sides and bottom.   Fold in chocolate & nuts.
4. Spoon batter onto cookie sheets with a small ice cream scoop.   Bake for  14 – 15.   Don’t overcook.   The tops will be shiny and will have some cracks.
5. Drag the parchment paper from the cookie sheets onto wire racks to cool.   The cookies can take several minutes to cool.
6. Remove from wire racks and store in air tight containers when the cookies are completely cooled.

I love to crumble this cookie on top of my “breakfast bowl” with either the Apple Dip or Caramel Sauce folded into vanilla yogurt.  It will change your life!

If you’ve got time, watch our video to get a better idea how to make these chocolate treasures!
