Fudgy and rich gluten free brownie cookies with crackly tops and deep chocolate flavor, perfect for an indulgent treat.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup gluten free all purpose baking flour
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the 8 ounces of chocolate chips in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each, or use a double boiler until smooth.
- Melt the coconut oil and measure 1/3 cup. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together for about 2 minutes until light and slightly thickened.
- Mix in the melted coconut oil, melted chocolate, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Add cocoa powder, corn starch, gluten free flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a thick batter forms.
- Stir in the optional espresso powder if using.
- Fold in the 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
- Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly.
- Add extra chocolate chips on top if desired and bake immediately for 11–14 minutes, until the tops are crackly and centers are slightly soft.
- Optionally shape cookies into circles using a round cutter while warm.
- Let cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
Notes
- Use a kitchen scale for accurate chocolate measurement.
- Do not let the batter sit too long before baking to achieve crackly tops.
- Cookies will firm up as they cool.
- Sprinkling sea salt on top enhances flavor.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days.
