Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup + 1 tbsp (150g) gluten free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum
  • 1/2 cup (60g) oat flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (110g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (110g) dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 cup (80g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the flour, oat flour, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
  • Cream together the melted butter and sugars until it turns into a paste-like consistency (mix on medium-high speed with the paddle attachment for 3-5 minutes).
  • Mix in the vanilla and eggs until smooth. Scrape down the bowl and mix again.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients. Once combined, fold in the chocolate.
  • Use a large cookie scoop and scoop the cookie dough side-by-side on a small tray lined with wax paper. You should have 15-16 cookies. Dot the tops with a few more chocolate chips and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • Once chilled, bake at 375F on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper (do not use a silpat). Bake 5-6 cookies at a time for 10-12 minutes.
  • Right when you take them out of the oven, quickly push in the sides of the cookies using the inside curve of a fork to form perfectly round cookies with wrinkly and crispy edges.
  • Sprinkle the tops with a little flaky sea salt and transfer to a cooling rack.

Pro tips

  • Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that already contains xanthan gum for the best structure and chewiness.
  • Don’t skip the chilling time! This is essential for the cookies to hold their shape and develop a richer flavor.
  • For perfectly round cookies with crinkly edges, use the ‘fork trick’ right after they come out of the oven. Gently push the edges inward with the curve of a fork.

Master these gluten free chocolate chip cookies for a dessert that everyone will adore. Experiment with different types of chocolate or a sprinkle of sea salt to improve your batch. Happy baking!
