How to Make Choc Pecan Cookies Gluten Free

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Grease two oven trays and line them with baking paper.
  3. In a food processor, finely grind 1 cup of pecan pieces.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 125g softened butter, 1 cup caster sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups gluten-free plain flour, ½ cup White Wings cornflour, and ½ teaspoon baking powder.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in 1 cup chopped dark chocolate.
  8. Roll rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough into balls.
  9. Place the balls 7cm apart on the prepared trays and gently flatten slightly with the palm of your hand.
  10. Top each cookie with a whole pecan half.
  11. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the trays for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Once cooled, drizzle your favorite melted chocolate over the cookies (optional).
