Ingredients
- Butter - Melted. I've used unsalted butter, so I can control the salt content myself. Salt is necessary as it elevates the chocolate and sugar intensity in the recipe.
- Vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract - both can be used interchangeably in gluten free baking. I just find that paste has a stronger vanilla flavor.
- White sugar - The white sugar provides sweetness and helps to create crispy edges on these cookies.
- Brown sugar - The brown sugar adds depth of flavor and moisture for a chewy texture. I love using brown sugar in cookies for its caramel flavor and chewy texture that it adds to cookies. Raw sugars can be used as a substitute to brown sugar.
- Egg - Bring your egg to room temperature before combining it with the rest of the cookie batter ingredients.
- Oat flour - I've used fine oat flour. You can easily make your own by grinding the oats in a blender or coffee/spice grinder. All you need is whole rolled oats (not steel-cut or quick oats). Blend until they form a fine powder, stopping to stir occasionally. Use certified GF oats and flour.
- Baking soda - Check the expiry date to prevent the cookies from spreading too much. Naturally, baking soda does not contain gluten.
- Chocolate chips - You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips, dark, milk, or white chocolate chips. Chocolate chunks are a good alternative and that's what I used here. Most chocolate chips are gluten-free, but always make sure to go through the label. Chocolate is often manufactured in facilities with the possibility of cross-contamination with gluten.
- Flaky sea salt - For serving. While this isn't necessary, it intensifies the chocolate flavor even more in those chewy cookies.
