THE EVOLUTION OF THE 36-HOUR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE – GLUTEN FREE

cookie_36hour_logo

I really did not want to post, write, or share another chocolate chip cookie recipe. I mean, come on, how many more chocolate chip cookie recipes do we need in our repertoire? Well, maybe, just one.

In my past baking life, I made (over and over again) the original David Leite’s Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie. A very good, classic, no fail cookie. A simple dough that requires not much more than the basics; butter, sugar, eggs, dry ingredients, and chocolate chips. When I found this gluten free version, I immediately headed for the kitchen.

While the dough rests in the fridge (for 36 hours), either in the original mixing bowl or wrapped in plastic wrap – like most doughs, it firms up. I have broken scooper’s via this process (proof here). I’ve learned. Instead, I scoop the dough into their desired shapes, place onto parchment lined baking sheets and cover with plastic wrap. After 36 hours, I bake off a dozen or so, and flash freeze the rest. I have said it before, having cookie dough in the freezer makes my life simpler.

When I need a quick gift or a simple gesture of gratitude, it’s this cookie that will be packaged and delivered with pride.
