Ingredients
Method
- In medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour and salt. Set aside.
- Add the butter and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Cream together until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and almond extract (if using).
- Add the dry ingredients and mix well until combined, scraping down the bowl as necessary.
- Place the dough on a large piece of plastic wrap (about 18 inches long) and roll into a log. Dough log should be about 14 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. Wrap the dough in the plastic wrap and chill for 4-6 hours (or overnight) until firm.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat. Use a sharp knife to slice the cookies - you should get about 48. Use your hands to form back into a circle if necessary. Bake the cookies, 18 at a time on the baking sheet and bake in batches. Keep cookies refrigerated or frozen until ready to bake.
- Bake at for 8-12 minutes until done - cookies will no longer be shiny and will be ever so slightly golden on the edges. Do not brown! Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before cooling compltely on a wire rack. Repeat baking process for the remainder of the cookies.
- When the cookies are cooled, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir really well then melt at 50% power in 20 second intervals until melted - stirring after each round of heating.
- Dip or drizzle cookies with melted chocolate and place on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Cool until the chocolate is set. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days or freeze.
Notes
Tips for keeping the dough round:
- Use the plastic wrap to help keep it in a nice even log shape when rolling it.
- Chill on a baking sheet for a nice flat surface.
- Once the dough is thoroughly chilled, roll it again to reshape into a round log.
- Roll slightly as you are slicing it so you don't get flat sides as you're cutting.
