Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, yeast and warm water. Cover and let stand until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  2. Gradually beat in remaining 4 cups flour, sugar, vanilla and salt. Beat in eggs until blended. Switch to dough hook. Mix on medium speed until mixture forms a smooth stiff dough, 2-3 minutes. Beat in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat on medium speed for 5 minutes. Stir in raisins and orange peel. Gently transfer to a greased bowl (dough will be sticky). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  3. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a ball. Place in a 7-in. wide x 4-in tall paper panettone mold. Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly beat egg with 1 tablespoon water; gently brush over dough. Sprinkle with almonds and coarse sugar. Bake until golden brown, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours, covering with foil after 30 minutes. Insert a metal or wood skewer horizontally through the center of the loaf. Allow bread to cool, upside down, by resting the ends of the skewer on the tops of two large heavy cans.

When I had to give up gluten, my husband and I started tweaking my favorite baking recipes. Our new-and-improved GF chocolate chip cookies are crispy on the outside, chewy in the middle—exactly how I like 'em. —Ellie Martin Cliffe, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Total Time

Prep: 20 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min./batch + cooling

Makes

5 dozen

Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract
  • 1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together your flour, salt and baking soda until they’re nice and combined. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugars with a hand mixer until fluffy. Then, beat in the egg, milk and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until it turns a light yellow.
  2. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, about half a cup at a time. Keep beating until they are fully incorporated, and then stir in the chocolate chips. These are our Test Kitchen preferred chocolate chip brands. (Test Kitchen Tip: If your dough feels too thick or crumbly, add in a little more milk. Gluten-free flour tends to run a little drier than regular flour, so milk is added to keep the dough moist and prevent the cookies from getting chalky.)
  3. Cover the cookie dough with a lid or plastic wrap and then place it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°.
  4. Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop or measuring spoon, drop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pop the cookies in your oven for 8-10 minutes or until they’re golden brown. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool and then dig in!
