Ingredients

• 113 grams Unsalted butter
• 240 grams Gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
• 150 grams Brown sugar
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
• 200 grams Chocolate chunks (ensure gluten-free)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring frequently. Continue cooking until the butter foams and turns golden brown, emitting a nutty aroma (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat immediately and transfer to a heat-safe bowl to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until well combined and no lumps remain.

Step 4

Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chocolate chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours for a more developed flavor).

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 9

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked. The cookies will firm up as they cool.

Step 11

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
