Ingredients
Scale
- 30 grams unsalted butter, can be cold
- 30 grams gluten free multi purpose flour
- 15 grams dutch processed cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon instant espresso (optional)
- 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
- 50 grams chocolate chips
- flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove in a small saucepan. Let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, baking soda, and kosher salt.
- After the butter has cooled slightly, whisk in the light brown sugar, instant espresso powder (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the egg yolk and mix until fully incorporated.
- Incorporate the dry ingredients and chocolate chips, folding with a flexible spatula until just combined.
- The dough should be thick, smooth, and very chocolatey, holding its shape when scooped while feeling soft and fudgy.
- Divide the cookie dough into 3 equal portions and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Top each with extra dark chocolate chips or chunks and gently press down slightly.
- Bake for 10 – 11 minutes until the edges are set and the centers look soft and slightly underbaked. They will continue to set while cooling, achieving a chewy texture.
- Remove from the oven and, if desired, use a round cutter or bowl slightly larger than the cookies to gently reshape them.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack or enjoy warm.
Notes
Using cold butter is acceptable for this recipe.
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
Experiment with adding nuts or different types of chocolate chips for extra flavor.
