These gluten free chocolate cookies are thick, chocolaty and so delicious! They are easy to make and over the top tasty. These double chocolate cookies are rich, decadent, and such a great dessert!
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold butter, cute into small cubes
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups gluten free 1 to 1 flour
- 1 tsp tapioca flour, or cornstarch
- ½ cup dark cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- sea salt, optional garnish
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, beat cubes of cold butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes or until no clumps of butter remain.
- Add in eggs and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
- Then, add in all remaining ingredients except chocolate chips and sea salt. Stir until a thick dough forms.
- Fold in dark chocolate chips.
- Use a large ice cream scoop to scoop large balls of dough onto lined baking pan. Mine were about 4 to 5 ounces in size each. Spread at least 2 inches apart on pan.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until middles of cookies are just barely set.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring to a cooling rack. Garnish with sea salt if desired.
Notes
- Use cold butter! Cut into small cubes.
- Cream butter and sugars until no clumps of butter remain. This is important.
- Any cocoa powder works, but I suggest dark cocoa powder for a rich and decadent chocolate flavor.
- The cookie dough will be very thick.
- Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to help scoop balls of dough.
- Bake until cookies are just barely set in the middle. Mine only took 10 minutes.
- Store cookies covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. Store in fridge for a firmer cookie for up to 7 days.
- These cookies freeze well.
