We love following Brooke & her bakery: Brooki Bakehouse, and have ordered their cookies shipped from Australia not once but TWICE!
First time: /www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zox2HdPcHtM&list=PL2aqa_VNUFliDmTtBLT39K4mvfAWluZz-&index=1&t=5s
Second time: https://youtu.be/1vPeLhuylZw
So when Brooke recently shared her cowboy cookie recipe on YouTube, we knew we HAD to try it out. We made her OG recipe, and a gf/df version too!
And since we’re baking chunky cookies, why not also try out a copycat recipe by Tastefully Shay that’s supposed to taste just like Brooki Bakehouse Walnut Choc Chip Chunky cookies. Let’s see how close they are, and also make a gf/df version here too.
We’re baking:
A - Brooki Bakehouse Cowboy cookies
B - A made gluten-free/dairy-free
C - Tastefully Shay’s copycat recipe
D - C made gluten-free/dairy-free
Come along and watch the video here: https://youtu.be/KwUFk98D008
Since we’re making so many, and these cookies are enormous, we’re downsizing and making 1/4 sized batches (each 1/4 batch made 3’ish cookies - you can do this too if you like, but it’s a bit of a pain to split eggs. You can beat the egg then weigh out a portion. Or some people even divide the white and the yolk separately to get it exact).

**NOTE about me “gluten-ing myself”: I have an inflammatory condition that can flare with certain foods - one of them being gluten. So I do/can occasionally eat bit of things containing gluten, especially when it comes to comparing how certain things taste (to try get textures of gluon-free baked goods more “like the real thing”. Sometimes I do flare after and “pay for it”. It really depends on what it was/how much…
