The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever, Period (and Gluten-Free!)
MAKES 20 COOKIES We don’t think there’s a better chocolate chip cookie out there, gluten-free or otherwise. They’re just that good. If you can, splurge on high-end chocolate chips, such as Barry Callebaut, Guittard, or Peter’s Burgundy, for this now not-so-secret adaptation of a recipe from beloved baker Lisa Lan of San Francisco’s Bumblebee Bakeshop. Quality ingredients make the difference. But be warned: you’ll be spoiled for life.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons molasses
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla paste or vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- 2 cups gluten-free flour blend (we like Cup4Cup)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chunks
- 2/3 cups bittersweet chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
-
Preheat oven 325°F. In a large bowl, combine the sugars, molasses, vanilla paste, and butter and mix well. Add the egg and mix until smooth.
-
Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda and mix into the batter just until incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips just until evenly incorporated.
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the dough into balls, using about 2 tablespoons of dough per ball. Space them evenly on the baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart. Bake for 15 minutes or until edges are browned but centers are still soft. Cool on the pan. Repeat with any remaining dough.
