Gluten Free Chocolate Chunk Cookies

I have good news today. Last Friday I had one of the most beautiful and emotional moments of my life: My first nephew was born. Bento Ribas Costa was born on November 28^th at 01:29am. He was 7.71 pounds and 19.6 inches long. He is a cute and lovely baby. He sleeps a lot during the day and during the night he is awake, but this is totally normal, right?! 🙂 My family and I are enjoying every single moment with him and we are very happy because now we have one more new member of our family. So exciting!!! It is time to celebrate life and love.

I love being an aunt. I already love him so much like he was my own baby. It is unbelievable how we can love someone that we just met. When I saw him being born I couldn’t stop to cry. I cried like a baby because I was so emotional. It was one of the best days of my life! I am finely an aunt and I couldn’t be happier. My nephew is beautiful, perfect and so loved and wanted. I am so grateful for being able to be there to watch my nephew enter the world. It is something I will never forget.

Now, let’s talking about this gluten free chocolate chunk cookies for the holidays, because that’s why you are visiting my blog, right? 😉 These cookies are gluten free because I used multi-propose gluten free flour. This is the first time I used all propose gluten free flour and I am glad I did, because you don’t need to blend the many different flours (rice flour, brown rice flour, tapioca starch and potato starch) most gluten-free recipes call for. I really recommend this flour because it will save you time in the kitchen and taste very good.

I reduced the amount of sugar in this recipe because I think the sweetness of the chocolate chunks is enough for my taste, but if you want you can add ¾ cup sugar instead of ½ cup sugar. I also melted in the microwave chocolate chunks  and add to the batter because it makes the cookies even softer and chewy inside. One last thing, please don’t forget to allow the cookies to cool completely before you transfer them to a wire rack or a covered container, because they are very delicate when they are hot.

So, I hope these cookies can really bring more joy during your Holidays celebrations.
