Why You’ll Love These Cookies:
- Gluten-Free Goodness: Made with a blend of gluten-free flours, these cookies cater to those with dietary restrictions without compromising on taste or texture.
- Intense Chocolate Flavor: We use high-quality dark chocolate to ensure a deep, rich, and satisfying chocolate experience.
- Effortless to Make: This recipe is straightforward and quick, making it ideal for both beginner and experienced bakers.
- Perfectly Gooey Center: The secret lies in underbaking them slightly, resulting in that iconic molten lava center.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water (double boiler), melt the butter and chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
- Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely (or enjoy warm!).
Tips for Success:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
- Don’t overbake the cookies; they should be slightly underbaked for that gooey center.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
