Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free flour blend
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups semisweet chocolate chips (divided)
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Melt chocolate and butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with the butter in 30-second increments, stirring in between until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and creamy. Add the cooled melted chocolate mixture and stir until well combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the remaining ¼ cup of chocolate chips.
- Shape the cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have set edges and crackly tops. The centers should still look slightly soft.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Gluten-Free Brownie Cookies with a glass of milk or alongside your favorite cup of coffee for a delightful treat!
