I am so excited about this new cookie recipe! This is for my readers who don't have a lot of time but still want all of the fresh home-baked cookie flavors.
It doesn't get any easier than this recipe! The star of the recipe is one of my favorite gluten free slice and bake cookies, Naked Bread Frozen Plant-Based Gluten Free Cookie Dough.
There are no vegan slice and bake cookie doughs out there and this one ticks off every allergy-friendly box because they are not only vegan and gluten free, but they are also dairy-free, egg-free, and soy-free!! They are completely free of the top 8 allergens!
Naked Bread Gluten Free Cookie Dough comes in four delicious flavors including the chocolate chip that I used. Try some of these flavors too: ginger molasses, chocolate mint, and snickerdoodle.
Find them in the Pacific Northwest as well as California and Montana. Use this handy store locator to find it near you!
Recipe step by step directions:
Step 1: Cut your caramel pieces in half on a cutting board.
HINT: If you are dairy-free, AvenueSweets makes great dairy-free caramels. They are on Amazon.
Step 2: Defrost your cookie dough pieces until they are soft. Press one flat with your palm and place a caramel piece in the middle of the dough.
Step 3: fold the sides of the dough around the caramel pieces.
Step 4: You will end up with a lot of ball-shaped cookies like the above photo.
Step 5: Place the cookie balls on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
HINT: I really recommend using parchment paper because if caramel leaks out of a cookie, it will be hard to clean off the baking sheet.
Step 6: Bake the cookies for 8 minutes until done. They spread beautifully.
Tips and Recipe FAQ:
No, even though these cookies are egg-free, it is important not to eat raw gluten free flour.
These cookies will keep up to 3 days in an air-tight container.
You can easily freeze these in a zip-style freezer bag. I recommend reheating these in the oven to soften the caramel centers.
