Description

Creamy and rich like chocolate mousse – just a cookie with extra butterscotch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 tablespoons salted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 oz. dark chocolate/bittersweet (I used 60% cacao), melted
  • 2 oz. semi sweet chocolate, melted
  • 2 heaping tablespoons cacao powder
  • 2 teaspoon espresso powder
  • 1 cup gluten free flour blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • flake salt, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375F.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars together for 2 minutes on high or until it’s light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the eggs on low until combined and then mix in the melted chocolate.
  4. Add in the cacao powder, espresso powder, gluten free flour, baking soda and sea salt. Combine until everything is incorporated.
  5. Pour in the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.
  6. Using a teaspoon scoop, scoop the cookie batter onto a baking sheet tray. Top with a small pinch of flake salt.
  7. Bake for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and tap the baking sheet tray on your countertop or stove top 2-3 times to help flatten the cookies. Return to the oven for 2 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 1-2 minutes on the tray.
  8. Remove the cookies and let cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

The batter will be more wet than traditional cookie batter. This will help keep the cookies moist, tender and chewy when cooked.
