Servings: persons

1 ⅓ cups bittersweet chocolate chips
¼ cup chestnut flour
¼ cup cornstarch
½ cup brown rice flour
⅓ cup cocoa
⅔ teaspoon baking soda
⅔ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons xanthan gum
½ cup margarine, room temperature
1 teaspoon fresh orange zest, organic
⅜ cup light cane sugar
⅜ cup sucanat
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
2 large eggs

1
Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave, set aside.
2
Whisk together flours, salt, cocoa and baking soda.
3
Chestnut flour tends to be lumpy, so make sure to sift it.
4
Beat sugars, orange zest and margarine until well combined, then stirr in eggs one at a time.
5
Beat until considerably lighter in colour and creamy consistancy.
6
Fold in dry ingredients with a rubber spatula while pouring in melted chocolate slowly.
7
Mixture will thicken up just enough to spoon it into a cookie press.
8
If you find batter too thin put it in the fridge for a few minutes.
9
Use your cookie press at the smalles setting, if it has that.
10
Bigger cookies will be chewy, not crisp.
11
Freeze unbaked cookies on a silpat or sheet of baking paper.
12
I always prepare a big batch so I can pop the desired amount of cookies in the oven when convenient (usually after doing some other baking ;-)).
13
Preheat oven to 320.
14
Place frozen cookies on a greased cookie sheet, leaving 1 inch between cookies.
15
Bake for 15 minutes in the center of the oven.
16
Turn oven off, leaving cookies in there for at least half an hour or more.
17
Let cool completely and enjoy.
18
Will keep very well in an airtigh container.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
