Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup gluten free flour blend * see note
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 ounces chocolate chips
  • 1 large egg * Egg replacer works in this recipe.
  • ½ cup butter unsalted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • dash of salt
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling
  • 1 cup buttercream frosting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350º F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients and whisk to blend them togther.
  • In a microwave-safe dish, melt the chocolate chips for 30 seconds. Add the butter and melt for an additional 20-25 seconds. Stir them together. Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Don't forget to let this cool a little before adding your eggs!
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix it into your cookie dough.
  • Spray a mini muffin pan with oil. Drop a scoop of cookie dough into each cup and press it down.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Take a small jar and press it down into each cookie cup while the cookies are hot.
  • Let the cookie cups cool in the pan for 5 minutes before trying to remove them.
  • Add filling and cherries top with frosting or whipped cream.

Notes

  1. I tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure. Other blends should work, but starchy blends may need additional liquid.
  2. Fill with frosting, mousse, or pudding.
  3. I used Comstock Cherry Pie Filling from the grocery store.
  4. Store these cookie cups without the filling in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge, or freeze unfilled cookie cups in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
