If you like chocolate cookies and brownies, you are in for a treat with these gluten free brookies cookies. These cookies are moist and delicious and full of chocolate.

You will need to hide these from your family if you want more than one for yourself!! I made a short video to show you how easy this brookie cookie recipe is to make.

I know your first question. What the heck is a brookie?

First, you have to choose a team. Team Cookie or Team Brownie. Once you decide on your team, you can decide what you think of this gluten free  brookies recipe. Consider these to be like brownie cookies. They are moist like brownies, but they hold their shape like a cookie.

I adapted this recipe from one my friend Charissa at Zest Bakery likes to make. She calls these “brookies” because they are a cross between a brownie and a cookie.

My kids love these chocolaty cookies. They are soft and sweet…but not too sweet. This is a fun recipe to make with them because you get to use your hands to roll the brookie dough into balls.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/4 cups white sugar
• 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups gluten free flour blend
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/8 tsp salt
• confectioner’s sugar

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, cocoa, and salt. Whisk to blend.
2. In another bowl, add all wet ingredients and mix well.
3. Slowly stir the liquid mixture into the flour mixture until fully incorporated. 
4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled.
5. Scoop chilled dough into small balls and roll in confectioner’s sugar. I found that it was easy to just scoop out a chunk of dough, sprinkle some powdered sugar on it, and then roll it into a ball. Use a glass to smoosh the balls flat to about 1 inch thickness.
6. Place cookie balls on a parchment paper covered baking sheet. Bake in 350F oven for 10-12 minutes.
7. They should still be a bit soft, but fully cooked all the way through.
8. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a minute or two before moving them to a cooling rack.
