Description
These cookies feature a rich, nutty brown butter flavor and are made with gluten-free flour, resulting in chewy cookies with crispy edges and melty chocolate pockets.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon unsulphured molasses
- 1 3/4 cups Bob’s Red Mill gluten free 1 to 1 baking flour
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- Flaky sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- Brown the butter by melting it in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk constantly until it turns golden and you see brown specks in the pan. Let it cool for about 8 to 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together gluten free flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- Add both sugars to the cooled brown butter in the mixer bowl. Mix on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and molasses, mix until the dough comes together.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mixer on low speed until just combined. Fold in chocolate chunks and chips.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the dough onto the sheet, spacing about 3 inches apart.
- Bake for 13 to 14 minutes until the edges are golden. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while warm and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For a soft bite-sized treat, reduce bake time by 2-3 minutes. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
