Flourless Chocolate Cookies!- Gluten Free, Corn Free,

I have talked with quite a few friends that have Celiac Disease about good cookie recipes.  I don't have Celiac, but I usually taste my son's food to see what it is like.  All the cookies I had tried really tasted like they had sand in them...  The rice flour usually makes for a gritty texture.  It wasn't until I found this chewy chocolate cookie that I started enjoying gluten-free cookies.  I have found that the flour less recipes are usually tastier and cheaper than store-bought goods.  I have used almond flour and the taste and texture is wonderful, but who wants to pay $12 for less than a pound... not me!

This recipe starts out like a basic chocolate chip cookie... Butter, white sugar, brown sugar, egg, baking soda, vanilla... then instead of adding flour, you add cocoa powder until it sticks together and is almost the texture of play-doh.  Then stick it in the refrigerator for half an hour and then bake until ooey-gooey!  I love them.  My daughter, who cannot stand gluten-free things, loves these and begs me to make them.  All around good...  I even add chocolate chips and so it almost turns out like the Grandma Sycamore's chocolate chocolate chip cookies... Soft, chewy and delicious!!!

Here's the recipe... ENJOY!

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 Teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 salt
1 cup cocoa powder (or more)
chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugars until fluffy.  Add the egg and vanilla and mix.  Then add the rest of the ingredients.  Make sure you stir the the cocoa powder by hand at first otherwise it will poof and you will have a cocoa counter, floor, shirt, and face.  (Yes, I know from experience) Mix in chocolate chips if desired and bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes!  Let cool at least 5 minutes on the baking sheet before moving because they will be soft.  They will set up after they cool.
