Ingredients
Butter Mixture
- 9 tbsp unsalted butter
Dry Ingredients
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ⅔ cup black cocoa powder
- 1 cup gluten free flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Brown the Butter: In a skillet over low to medium heat, add the unsalted butter. Stir occasionally as it melts and watch carefully until the butter turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, then remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the light brown sugar, sugar, black cocoa powder, gluten free flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir thoroughly until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Add Brown Butter: Pour the browned butter into the mixing bowl, scraping the browned bits from the skillet into the mix to maximize flavor. Stir to combine well.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and stir until the dough comes together smoothly.
- Fold in White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.
- Form Dough Balls: Using a cookie scoop, portion out the cookie dough onto the lined baking sheet, spacing each ball at least 3 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Cookies are done when edges are set but centers remain slightly gooey.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use gluten free flour to keep these cookies safe for gluten sensitivities.
- Brown butter enhances the flavor with a rich, nutty depth — watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Do not overbake; the centers should remain slightly soft for perfect texture.
- Spacing dough balls well prevents cookies from merging during baking.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet after baking to set properly and avoid breaking.
