Recipe type: Dessert
Prep time: 1 hour 10 mins Cook time: 11 mins Total time: 1 hour 21 mins
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup evaporated can juice or granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1¾ cup gluten free flour (such as Bob’s Red Mill)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt plus more for topping
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 egg
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter, brown sugar, evaporated cane juice (or granulated sugar) and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and mix until combined.
- Then add in the gluten-free flour, sea salt, and baking soda and mix well.
- Add the chocolate chips last and mix until thoroughly incorporated.
- Scoop dough onto a piece of parchment paper and roll the dough into a log that is approximately 2 inches in diameter and 12 inches long.
- Wrap the log with the parchment and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Next, preheat the oven to 350F.
- Cut the chilled dough log into ½-inch disks.
- Place them on baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone mats leaving 2 inches in between the cookies.
- Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with sea salt.
- Bake for 11 to 12 minutes or until edges set and start to turn golden brown. Slightly under-baking them will keep them chewy and moist.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before trying to lift them. **Store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Dough may also be frozen, just let it thaw a bit at room temperature so that it can be sliced.
