Chocolate Puddle Cookies Gf Recipes

GLUTEN FREE CHOCOLATE PUDDLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 320F / 160C degrees and position racks in the top and bottom third. Line three (preferably rimmed) cookie sheets with parchment paper. You could also bake in batches with fewer pans.
• Make sure your nuts are cooled a bit, then coarsely chop and set aside. Sift together the confectioners sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir in the walnuts, then add the egg whites and vanilla. Stir until well blended.
• Use a cookies scoop for about 60 smaller uniform cookies (or spoon the batter onto the prepared cookie sheets in mounds of about 2 tablesoons each to create 18 larger cookies.) These cookies are like reverse Shrinky Dinks - they expand. For the smaller cookies, don't place more than 4 across the short side of your cookie sheet, and for the larger cookies, no more than 6 cookies per sheet. Also remember not to place the batter too close to the edge of the pan.
• Bake until they puff up. The tops should get glossy, and then crack a bit. Bite size cookies will take 7-9 minutes and the large cookies 12-15 minutes depending on your oven. You may want to rotate the cookies top/bottom/front/back.
• Slide the cookies still on parchment onto a cooling rack, and let them cool completely. They will keep in an airtight container for a couple of days.
• Note: I noticed while making the cookies smaller, the batter dried out a bit while waiting for the batches to cook so the tops where not as glossy. Try covering the batter with a damp cloth between batches. It didn't change texture of flavor, just a bit of the appearance.
