Ingredients
  

  • 8 tablespoons salted butter (melted)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup gluten free flour
  • ½ teaspoon Bob's Red Mill Corn Starch
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Cookie Scoop
  • Oven thermometer

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies will bake evenly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, melt the 8 tablespoons of salted butter. Allow it to cool slightly before using.
  3. Once the butter is cooled, add in the ¾ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup dark brown sugar. Whisk them together until well combined.
  4. Next, add in the large egg and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of gluten free flour, ½ teaspoon of Bob's Red Mill corn starch, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt. Stir to combine.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  7. Gently fold in 1 cup of milk chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  8. Using a cookie scoop, place dough balls onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or store for later enjoyment!

Notes

  • Ensure your butter is melted but not hot to avoid cooking the egg.
  • Different gluten free flours can absorb moisture differently; adjust as needed.
  • Don’t skip the corn starch; it’s crucial for the texture of gluten free cookies.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet to firm up before transferring.
