Ingredients
Scale
- 10 tablespoons salted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup gluten free flour
- 3/4 cup cacao powder or unsweetened coco powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
- flake salt, for garnish
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add in the butter and brown sugar and beat on medium/high speed for 3 minutes. Scrap down the sides of the bowl and beat for 1 more minute on medium/high speed.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat on medium/high speed for 1 minute.
- Scrap down the sides of the bowl. Pour in the flour, cacao, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Mix on low until everything is fully incorporated.
- Add in the chocolate chips and mix until the chips are spread throughout the batter.
- Using a cookie scoop (I used 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop), measure out the batter into cookies and place on a baking sheet tray. Continue until all the batter is used. Sprinkle a small amount of flake salt on top of each cookie. Place the tray in your refrigerator for 24 hours.
- When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375F. Remove the cookies from your refrigerator and arrange 8 cookies per baking sheet tray. I removed all but 8 and baked the first batch on the cold baking sheet tray.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes – at the half way point (6 minutes) remove the baking sheet tray quickly from the oven and tap 2-3 times on your countertop to flatten the cookies. Return back to the oven for the remaining baking time.
- Let rest on the sheet tray for 1-2 minutes before removing and placing on a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat until all the cookies are baked.
Notes
If skipping the chilling batter part – preheat your oven to 375F before you start making the cookie batter. Then on step 5, just scoop the batter into cookies onto a baking sheet tray – about 8 per tray. Spinkle a small amount of flake salt on top of each cookie. And then follow instructions on step 7.
