Chocolate Chip Cookies That Aren't Grainy?

(1/2) > >>

jackibar:
Is there a chocolate chip cookie recipe that is good but doesn't have that grainy/sandy texture that it seems everything I try to bake with almond flour has?!  My husband and I are looking for a good one and this is one of our favorite desserts we miss but every one we've tried tastes ok but has something totally different from a cookie texture and the dough itself is really dry and crumbly before baking...

Doug Varrieur:
Jacki, Umpa suggests you mix up the flours. Try cutting the almond flour and adding coconut flour. Here's a recipe to try.





Ingredients

    1¼ cup almond flour
    3 tablespoons coconut flour
    ½ teaspoon baking soda
    ½ teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 egg, room temperature
    ¼ cup butter, room temperature
    24 drops FAT TO SKINNY Zero Sweetener1
    ⅓ cup sugar free chocolate chips

Instructions

    1- Preheat the oven to 350. Line 1 large baking sheet with parchment paper.
    2- In a bowl, sift together almond flour, coconut flour baking soda and salt.
    3- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on low-medium speed, cream butter, sweetener, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
    4- Add the flour mixture and mix until evenly mixed. Stir in chocolate chips.
    5- Drop 1-2 tablespoon size mounds of dough onto baking sheets, spacing the mounds at least 2 inches apart. Using your the palm of your hand or the bottom of a clean cup, flatten the cookies to the desired size and thickness.
    6- Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until slightly golden around the edges. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Now all you need is a glass of unsweetened almond milk! Enjoy :)

Thanks for the tip, Doug and Umpa! What are your thoughts on using a touch of xanthum gum? I've noticed some recipes seems to use that to help with the crumbliness...

Doug Varrieur:
Take baby steps with xanthum gum, a little goes a long way  8)

Can you use freezer paper in place of parchment paper? Don't have parchment on hand and we were gonna finally try this! We do have wax paper, too...
