Gluten Free Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

These had been my favorite pre-celiac days. This GF version is just as tasty!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 4 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
• 2 cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups rice flour mix (mix together 2 cups rice flour, 2/3 cup potato starch 1/3 tapioca starch)
• 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• confectioner’s sugar

Directions:

1. Mix oil, chocolate, and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly between each. Add vanilla.
2. Sift dry ingredients together. Stir into chocolate mixture. Refrigerate several hours.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Form dough into balls (coat your hands in powered sugar to avoid the dough sticking to your hands) and roll in confectioner’s sugar to coat.
4. Place about 2″ apart on parchment lined baking sheets. Bake about 10-14 minutes.

After being diagnosed as a celiac I hated baking, and didn't want to face holiday baking. but slowly research, trial and errors brought about several goodies that are easy to make and really you can't tell the difference.

This year my plan is to try out King Arthur Gluten-Free Flour and C2C (found at william sonoma and ridiculously expensive, but worth a try) instead of a flour mix.

Happy Baking and Merry Christmas!

I can't wait to try some of the other recipes!
