Gluten-Free Chocolate Chia Cookies
Molasses and chia do wonders for the texture of these fudgy gluten-free chocolate chia cookies.
If you enjoy gluten-free baking then consider molasses your friend. It has a way of improving the texture of GF baked goods and adds moisture that is always welcome. In this recipe the chia plays a similar role. Together they help to keep these cookies fudgy.
In this recipe, we used Robin Hood gluten-free flour blend, an all-purpose GF flour that includes xanthan gum so you don’t have to add it yourself.
