Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1⅓ cups (200g) gluten-free measure-for-measure flour

  • ¼ cup (25g) almond flour

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup (113g) butter

  • 1 tbsp milk of choice

  • ¾ cup (160g) brown sugar

  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips

  • Flaky sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Whisk Dry Ingredients
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  2. Brown the Butter
    Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until it foams, turns golden brown, and releases a nutty aroma. Immediately transfer to a bowl.

  3. Add Sugars and Milk
    Add milk, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to the browned butter. Whisk to combine.

  4. Add Egg and Vanilla
    Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

  5. Combine Wet and Dry
    Using a spatula, stir in the dry ingredients until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.

  6. Rest the Dough
    Cover the dough and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

  7. Preheat Oven
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

  8. Scoop Dough
    Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place on baking sheets about 2 inches apart.

  9. Bake
    Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden and centers are set.

  10. Cool & Serve
    Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.

Notes

  • Brown butter adds a deep, rich flavor—don’t skip this step!

  • Dough can be chilled for deeper flavor; just bring to room temp before baking.

  • Use certified gluten-free flour blends for best results.

  • Almond flour helps keep cookies moist and chewy.

  • Sprinkle sea salt right after baking for a bakery-style finish.
