Salted caramel chocolate chip cookies
Last week I got the brilliant idea to put my favourite chocolate bar (milk chocolate with salted caramel) into a cookie. Salted caramel chocolate chip cookies. When I checked Google I found out that I wasn’t the first one with this idea, but that DailyLin already created a recipe for this kind of cookies. Because the recipe sounded great I decided to just try it. To make the recipe low FODMAP I substituted the normal flour for gluten-free flour and that worked out great. If you tolerate spelt flour you can also use that.
The cookies came out wonderful! Crispy but chewy cookies with caramel chocolate and sometimes a bit of salt. I cannot get any better! The cracks in the cookies give them a nice rustique look π
In the past, I always used to ruin my cookies, because I always thought they were still too soft when they came out of the oven and I would put them back to bake a bit longer. They always turned out to be stone hard. The thing with cookies is that they will harden after cooling down. The trick is to don’t bake them too long and patiently wait for the cookies to cool down!
Look at the chocolate! And the chunks of caramel!
What do you need (for 12 cookies)
- 200 g gluten-free flour (or spelt flour, if you tolerate it)
- 150 g butter
- 150 g milk chocolate with salted caramel (the bar I used was actually 180 g, but I couldn’t keep myself from eating a part of it, you can also use the entire bar in the recipe if you manage not to eat it beforehand)
- 180 g dark brown sugar
- 80 g granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- a pinch of salt
Notes for Fodmappers
- Milk chocolate is low FODMAP up to 15 g, therefore eating one cookie at a time is a low FODMAP portion. Make sure the salted caramel chocolate you pick does not contain any high FODMAP ingredients.
How to prepare the Salted caramel chocolate chip cookies
- Pre-heat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius.
- Melt the butter in a pan on low heat or in the microwave.
- Put the brown sugar, the granulated sugar, the egg and the egg yolk in a mixing bowl. Add the butter when it has melted and mix everything together.
- Mix in the another bowl the spelt flour, the baking powder and the salt together. Add this bit by bit to the sugar- and butter mixture and mix it together.
- Chop the chocolate with a large knife into pieces en stir the chocolate through the mixture.
- Put small heaps of the batter on a baking tray covered with baking parchment. The batter is not as solid as a dough so it is best to do this using two spoons. Make sure you leave enough space between the cookies because the batter will get runny in the oven and otherwise you will get one big cookie π
- Bake the cookies in the oven for 20 minutes, take them out of the oven and leave them to harden on the baking tray for a while (when you take the cookies out of the oven they will still be quite soft).
