Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup corn flour
  • 1 cup gluten free baking flour (I recommend Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1:1 Baking Flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature (1 stick)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup milk (you can use dairy milk or non-dairy milk)
  • cup semi sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the corn flour, gluten free flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer or a wooden spoon to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until it is fluffy and smooth.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the creamed butter and sugar, and add the milk.
    Mix everything with a wooden spoon until there is no dry flour visible.
    Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Shape the dough into 12 even-sized balls and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the cookies don't look or feel dry.
    Enjoy!!

Notes

  • Note that corn flour is not the same as cornstarch or cornmeal.
  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. 
  • Optional: Place one chocolate chip on the top of each cookie ball prior to baking for a cute look.
