Ingredients
- Gluten-free all-purpose flour 156g / 0.34 lbs
- Gluten-free yellow or vanilla boxed cake mix 156g / 0.34 lbs
- Baking soda 2.5g / 0.0055 lbs
- Salt 2.5g / 0.0055 lbs
- Ghee 186g / 0.41 lbs
- Granulated sugar 100g / 0.22 lbs
- Light brown sugar packed (100g / 0.22 lbs)
- 1 Egg
- Pure vanilla extract 7.5ml
- Dairy-free chocolate chips 200g / 0.44 lbs
- Red and green sprinkles 100g / 0.22 lbs
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, cake mix, salt, and baking soda. Set this aside for later.
- Use an electric mixer to cream together the ghee, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until you achieve a smooth texture.
- Gradually add the egg into the sugar and butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.
- Incorporate the vanilla extract, continuing to blend on low-medium speed.
- Slowly introduce the flour mixture from the first step into this wet mix, blending on low speed until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Add the dairy-free chocolate chips and festive sprinkles into the dough, mixing on low speed until well distributed.
- Cover the dough bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
- After the dough has chilled, preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Prepare your baking sheets by spraying them with cooking spray or lining them with parchment paper.
- Scoop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared sheets, ensuring each scoop is higher rather than round. Leave enough space in between the scoops to prevent the cookies from merging as they bake.
- Bake the cookies for ten minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool for at least a few minutes before indulging. Enjoy!
Notes
Substitutes for ghee could be coconut oil or another dairy-free butter. Remember, the cookies might spread a bit, so leave adequate space between each dough ball. These Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies are not just a Christmas treat - you can change the sprinkles to suit any occasion!
