Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Gluten Free
Serves: 24 cookie tassies
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your cookie tassies bake evenly and achieve a nice golden color.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of gluten-free all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed. This helps to evenly distribute the baking soda and salt throughout the flour.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat again until fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of your cookies.
- Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon. Make sure the chocolate chips are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or butter. This will prevent the cookie tassies from sticking to the pan.
- Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop the cookie dough into each muffin cup, filling them about 2/3 full. This will allow room for the cookies to spread while baking.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
- Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the cookie tassies to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. This will make them easier to remove.
- After 5 minutes, gently run a knife around the edges of each tassie to loosen them, then carefully remove them from the muffin tin and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious gluten-free chocolate chip cookie tassies as a sweet treat or dessert!
Tips
- Measure Ingredients Accurately: For the best results, use a kitchen scale to measure your gluten-free flour and other ingredients. This ensures consistency and helps achieve the perfect texture.
- Soften Butter Properly: Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugars. This step is crucial for incorporating air into the mixture, resulting in a light and fluffy cookie.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense cookies, so be gentle!
- Use Quality Chocolate Chips: Opt for high-quality chocolate chips to elevate the flavor of your tassies. Dark chocolate or semi-sweet varieties work wonderfully.
- Grease the Muffin Tin Well: To prevent sticking, ensure your mini muffin tin is well-greased. You can also use silicone muffin cups for easy removal.
- Watch the Baking Time: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your tassies as they bake. Look for lightly golden edges and set centers to avoid overbaking.
- Cool Before Removing: Allow the tassies to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing them. This helps them firm up and makes them easier to handle.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your tassies by adding nuts, dried fruit, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top for an extra flavor punch!
