Celiac and the Beast Maple Vanilla Toasted Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

I am shocked at how much I love baking with the Ryze gluten-free flour blue bag! I use it for all of my cookie recipes, like my Bourbon Vanilla Chocolate Chip Cookies!

My favorite part of these cookies is the addition of toasted walnuts. Not only does my house smell great during the toasting process, it really makes the flavor of the walnuts shine through. Using granulated maple sugar makes these cookies turn into a fall classic!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Ryze Blue Bag Flour Mix (affiliate link)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 sticks dairy-free butter
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup maple sugar (I use Crown Maple Sugar – affiliate)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs or egg alternative (I used flax egg)
  • 1 cup toasted walnuts
  • 1 cup Enjoy Life Foods chocolate chips

Directions

These directions come from the Ryze blue bag! It’s just that easy!

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F, and spread your walnuts onto a baking pan. Once the oven is ready, toast the walnuts for 8-10 minutes, checking to make sure they don’t burn. Once toasted, set aside and turn off oven.
  • In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the RYZE Blue Flour Blend and baking soda and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, KitchenAid stand mixer, or Bosch Universal Plus stand mixer, cream the dairy-free butter until as fluffy as possible. Add the salt and vanilla and beat. Add the two sugars. Beat well until the mixture is smooth. Add the eggs or egg substitutes and beat. Add half of the flour mixture at a time, beating after each addition. Fold in the chocolate chips and toasted walnuts.
  • Allow dough to chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before baking. I prefer 30 minutes.
  • Search the kitchen far and wide for where you put your parchment paper. Find it hidden in with the cat food. Line four cookie sheets with parchment paper. While the cookies are chilling, preheat the oven to 375 F. If you’ve left the oven on the entire time since toasting the walnuts, that’s okay too – I’m not here to judge you.
  • Drop tablespoons of cookie dough (heaping teaspoons for smaller cookies) about 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake 12 to 14 minutes, or until bottoms are golden browned. Remove from the oven and cool completely before removing from the cookie sheets.
