Description
Delicious gluten-free chocolate chip cookies made with brown butter, oats, and dark chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup salted butter (1 stick)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup gluten free flour (I like Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1–1/2 cups certified gluten-free old fashioned oats
- 1 heaping cup gluten free dark chocolate chips (I like Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Morsels)
- coarse sea salt or finishing salt
Instructions
- Add butter to a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Melt butter then start slowly swirling the skillet when the butter begins to sizzle. Continue swirling the skillet, scraping down the sides every now and again, until butter is deep golden brown in color, like maple syrup, 3-4 minutes. Be careful as it can quickly go from brown to burnt. Scrape brown butter into a dish then set aside to cool completely. Can be made a day ahead of time — store in the refrigerator.
- Once browned butter has cooled, add it to the bowl of an electric mixer or a large glass bowl if using a handheld mixer. Add both sugars then beat until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl then add the egg and vanilla and mix until egg is just combined.
- Scrape down the bowl then add flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined. Add oats and chocolate chips then mix until combined. Cover dough then refrigerate for at least one hour or up to 72 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees then line a half sheet pan with a silpat or parchment paper. Scoop 2 Tablespoons worth of dough into your hands then roll into a ball and slightly flatten (if you’ve refrigerated the dough longer than one hour you may need to let the dough sit out and soften for a bit first). Sprinkle tops with sea salt then bake for 8-10 minutes or until cookies are golden brown around the edges. Let cool slightly before transferring to cooling racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
- The dough can be refrigerated for up to 72 hours for better flavor and texture.
