I found this recipe last year while browsing through a magazine (probably Good Housekeeping or Redbook). It was the Holiday issue where there were no less than 50 recipes for Christmas cookies. I knew as soon as I saw the recipe that I could easily convert it to be gluten-free. These became a quick favorite in our house! I really think the dark cocoa makes all the difference.
I set out last year to try as many new cookie recipes as I could. I was making them daily and ended up frustrated on many occasions. Of course they always tasted good, but sometimes appearance left a lot to be desired. If I can offer one baking tip that has helped me out, it is to chill the dough at least 30 minutes, even if the recipe does not call for it. This helps the cookies not spread out too much on your baking sheet. I speak from lots of tears & experience.
Dark Chocolate Snowstorms
1 1/2 cups GF flour mix (I used Carol’s Sorghum Mix)
1/2 cup Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp xanthan gum
1 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 stick of butter (1/2 cup)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
Directions
1. Best sugar & butter in mixing bowl until fluffy. Beat in egg & vanilla.
2. Mix all dry ingredients together and then blend into the wet mix. Mix well.
3. Chill dough for 30 minutes.
4. Roll dough into balls & bake at 350 for 12 minutes.
5. Let cool for 3-5 minutes on sheet & then remove to cooling rack.
6. Dip in powdered sugar while still slightly warm.
Dig in!!

It's more about protecting their business. Any company that has gluten in their business MUST let the customer know. It ...
You also need to add to your list the new Michelob Ultra Light Cider. It was just released this ...
Quick question: what did you use for frosting? Homemade? Packaged? 
To VS and John. Thank you. Those comments clear that up nicely. 
They look wonderful!!
I am going to add these to my list of holiday cookies i need to make in the next 9 days!
Thanks for the tip about freezing the dough….my oatmeal cookies sometimes flatten out (mostly if it’s humid out) and the recipe doesn’t call for freezing the dough, I’m going to make some next week to take to FL so I’ll use this trick and see how they turn out
Thank you! I need to make a batch of these now, too!
