    gluten free brookies are fudgy, insanely delicious and easy to make! if you like the edges of a brownie, these are perfect for you--a crisp edge and moist inside.

    holding a gluten free brookie in my hand

    brownies are one of my favorite desserts. i love making them for my loved ones but i also love to make a batch and eat straight out of the pan. however, not everyone can get an edge piece. and the way to fix that is with this gluten free brookie recipe.

    you get the perfect crispy edge and the fudgy center that everyone loves. i could eat these brownies as soon as they come out of them oven when they're still hot and gooey.

    if you love brownies and cookies, make this recipe for the perfect mix of the two!

    main ingredients

    • gluten free flour
    • cocoa powder
    • baking powder
    • granulated sugar
    • brown sugar
    • egg
    • butter
    • vanilla extract
    • chocolate chips
    gluten free brookies on a plate and topped with flaky sea salt

    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

    1. preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
    2. line a baking tray with parchment paper
    3. combine the butter, whisked egg, vanilla extract, cocoa powder and sugars into a large mixing bowl
    4. whisk until fully combined
    5. add in the gluten free flour and baking powder
    6. fold into the butter until just combined
    7. add in the chocolate chips
    8. using a 1 or 2 inch cookie scooper, portion out the dough 2 inches apart on the baking tray
    9. add extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie if desired
    10. bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes
    11. remove from the oven and top each cookie with flaky sea salt
    12. cool for 10 minutes on the tray before transferring to a cooling rack
    13. enjoy!

    frequently asked questions

    do i have to use gluten free flour?

    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.

    can i use any type of chocolate chip?

    yes! any will work and you should use whichever you prefer.

    what happens if i don't whisk the egg before adding it to the batter?

    the cookies won't have that signature crinkly top that we get in a classic brownie recipe.

    how do i know the cookies are done baking?

    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.

    how do i store these cookies?

    store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
