Why Bob’s Red Mill?

Using gluten-free flours can be tricky, but Bob’s Red Mill (BRM) makes it easy by pre-mixing all the ingredients you need. No more cluttered shelves of half-used flour bags! This mix is perfect for beginners or anyone who wants delicious cookies without the hassle.

Step 1: Gather Your Tools and Ingredients

Before you begin, set up your workspace. You'll need:

Tools:

• Baking pans

• Baking paper or parchment

• Cooling racks

• Mixing bowl

• Fork

• Sturdy rubber scraper

• Two teaspoons

Ingredients:

• 1 Package of Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix

• 1 egg

• ½ cup (115 grams) of soft butter (not melted)

• 3 tablespoons of water

Preheat Your Oven to 375°F or 190°C

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

1. Prep the Wet Ingredients

Crack the egg into a bowl.

Add 3 tablespoons of water.

Whisk together with a fork.

2. Measure the Butter

The butter should be soft but not melted for easy mixing.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, mix the egg, water, and butter using a fork or rubber scraper until smooth.

4. Add the Cookie Mix

Open the BRM mix and carefully pour it into the bowl.

5. Mix Thoroughly

Stir everything together with the rubber scraper. At first, the dough might seem too dry, but keep mixing—it will come together beautifully.

Step 3: Shape and Bake

7. Prepare Baking Sheets

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Ideally it is best to have 2-3 baking sheets available to use.

8. Scoop the Dough

Use two teaspoons to scoop small balls of dough onto the sheet.

Leave space between each cookie for spreading.

9. Shape the Cookies (Optional)

For freeform cookies, leave them as-is.

For round cookies, roll the dough into balls with your hands.

10. Bake

Place the sheet in the oven and set your timer.

Baking time will vary depending on the amount of cookie dough. Typical baking time is 8 to 12 minutes.

Bake until the edges start to brown lightly.

11. Cool the Cookies

Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Use a spatula to transfer them to a cooling rack.

Step 4: Enjoy and Store

Enjoy some warm cookies fresh from the oven!

Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh. In humid climates, refrigerate them for extra longevity.

Bonus Tips

Clean-Up: A quick cleanup keeps baking fun—dishwashers are a lifesaver here!

Sharing: For school or community events, individually bag the cookies and include ingredient labels to make them safe for gluten-free kids.
