Back to all recipes.
If you are looking for a crunchy gluten free cookie recipe, look no further! This recipe is perfect for crystallised ginger cookies with a fiery blast or simple yet classic chocolate chip cookies. You could change it up to make them whatever flavour you like really, how about adding toffee pieces and topping with chocolate! The ginger version of these gluten free cookies got me through weeks of morning sickness, the hubby worked wonders with this one and then changed it to make chocolate chips cookies and they were just as good.

Gluten Free Crystallised Ginger/Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

50g block salted butter
1tbsp golden syrup
175g gluten free self raising flour
45g light muscovado sugar
55g demerara sugar
1tsp bicarbonate of soda
1tbsp ground ginger
80g crystallised ginger
1 egg
For chocolate version switch crystalised ginger to chocolate chips and change ground ginger to an extra 15g of self raising flour

Method

  1. Roughly chop the crystallised ginger into small pieces and set aside for in a bit.

  2. Place the butter and golden syrup in a saucepan, while stirring constantly, melt the butter and golden syrup together, once all melted take off the heat and set aside.

  3. In a mixing bowl place the flour, sugars, bicarb, ground and crystalised ginger and thoroughly mix together.

  4. Add in the melted butter mixture and mix together along with the beaten egg. Bring together into dough with your hands.

  5. Sprinkle some flour on a work surface, roll into a long sausage (around 5cm thick) then slice into 16 pieces (to get the equal the easiest way to cut it to cut into half, half the halves, half the quarters and so on until you have 16 slices).

  6. Place on the baking tray, lined with baking parchment, a few inches apart as they spread slightly, press down a little (i did 6 on a tray).

  7. Place in an oven preheated to gas mark 4/180c, bake for 25 mins until golden brown and the edges are firming up.

  8. Remove from oven, allow to cool on the tray for 5 mins to firm up before moving to a cooling rack.
