After taking a full week off due to sickness (virus\u2013> vertigo\u2013> falling when standing\u2013>no time for baking), I\u2019ve spent the past few days making up for lost time in the kitchen. \u00a0This new year, I\u2019ve decided to go back to the basics when it comes to gluten\/grain free baking. \u00a0Something that\u2019s been bothering me for a while now has been chocolate chip cookies. \u00a0Sure, you can make gluten free chocolate chip cookies using any number of the great gf flours that are available out there, but I\u2019ve been trying to come up with an even simpler version. \u00a0Something that doesn\u2019t involve 6 different kinds of flours, xanthan gum, or funny aftertastes. \u00a0Enter buckwheat flour.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m ashamed to say I\u2019ve never really given buckwheat much of a chance. \u00a0I\u2019ve just been ignoring it for the most part (oops). \u00a0After doing a lot of research, I decided to give it a try. \u00a0So I bought some buckwheat groats (funny word, hehe), used my handy NutriBullet to mill me some buckwheat flour, and voila! I had something to new to work with.<\/p>\n

I decided to sub in the buckwheat flour 1:1 in my go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe. \u00a0No other flours, no gums, just the buckwheat flour. \u00a0The result? \u00a0A perfectly moist, chewy on the inside, crunchy on the outside chocolate chip cookie. \u00a0There\u2019s no funny taste or texture in these at all. \u00a0Like my kids said, they\u2019re just regular chocolate chip cookies!<\/p>\n

A gluten\/grain free cookie that tastes like the original? \u00a0Just pass me the almond milk\u2026<\/p>\n

Buckwheat Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/h3>\n

{Gluten\/Grain free}<\/h4>\n

Makes 18 cookies<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1 stick unsalted butter (or 1\/2 cup coconut oil), at room temperature<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup brown sugar<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons sugar<\/li>\n
  • 1 egg<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup buckwheat flour<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 teaspoon baking soda<\/li>\n
  • Pinch of salt<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup chocolate chips<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    In a small bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, baking soda and salt, and set aside.<\/p>\n

    Using your standing mixer, beat together the butter (or coconut oil) and both sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. \u00a0Add the egg, and beat for an additional minute.<\/p>\n

    Reduce the speed to low, and mix in the flour mixture. \u00a0Stir in the chocolate chips, cover the mixer bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 1 hour (or overnight).<\/p>\n

    Once chilled, preheat the oven to 375\u00b0, and use a small cookie scoop to measure out 18 cookies on to 3 lined baking sheets. \u00a0Leave about 2 inches between the cookies, since they will spread a bit in the oven.<\/p>\n

    Bake the cookies at 375\u00b0 for 9-10 minutes, until the cookies are golden brown. \u00a0Remove from the oven, and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. \u00a0Let cool slightly, and enjoy!<\/p>\n
