three tips for making these brownie cookies perfect
one of the most important things you can do is to whisk the egg before adding it into the other wet ingredients.
another tip is to use a cookie scoop so that all of the cookies are the same size. add extra chocolate chips on top because you can never have too much chocolate!
my last tip is to add flaky sea salt on top after baking. it helps bring out the chocolate flavor.
how to make gluten free brookies
- preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
- line a baking tray with parchment paper
- combine the butter, whisked egg, vanilla extract, cocoa powder and sugars into a large mixing bowl
- whisk until fully combined
- add in the gluten free flour and baking powder
- fold into the butter until just combined
- add in the chocolate chips
- using a 1 or 2 inch cookie scooper, portion out the dough 2 inches apart on the baking tray
- add extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie if desired
- bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes
- remove from the oven and top each cookie with flaky sea salt
- cool for 10 minutes on the tray before transferring to a cooling rack
- enjoy!
frequently asked questions
nope! you can use regular all purpose flour at a 1:1 ratio. i do not recommend using any coconut, almond or alternative flours as that will affect the final result.
yes! any will work and you should use whichever you prefer.
the cookies won't have that signature crinkly top that we get in a classic brownie recipe.
the cookies are done baking when the edges are crisp and the batter has spread out into a circular shape. the center should still be slightly gooey as it will firm up while cooling.
store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
