Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups gluten free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Brown the butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns golden amber and develops a nutty aroma. This will take approximately 5-7 minutes. Pour browned butter into a large mixing bowl and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- While butter cools, prepare dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined and no lumps remain.
- Add brown sugar and granulated sugar to cooled browned butter. Using an electric mixer, cream the mixture on medium speed until smooth and well incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract and mix until mixture is creamy and uniform.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix to maintain cookie texture.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips, distributing evenly throughout the dough.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate dough for 30-60 minutes to enhance flavor and prevent spreading during baking.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, placing cookies 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers appear slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- Brown Butter Perfection: The key to these extraordinary cookies is patience when browning butter. Use a light-colored pan to easily monitor the color and prevent burning.
- Chill for Success: Don't skip the refrigeration step! Chilling the dough for 30-60 minutes helps develop deeper flavors and prevents cookies from spreading too thin.
- Gluten-Free Flour Matters: Use a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the best texture and taste.
- Chocolate Chip Distribution: Fold chocolate chips gently to ensure even distribution throughout the dough.
- Baking Precision: Watch cookies closely in the last few minutes of baking. The golden-brown edges are your indicator of cookie perfection.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to maintain their delicate structure.Pro Tip: These cookies are best enjoyed slightly warm, with the chocolate chips still gooey, or completely cooled with a glass of milk!
