Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns light golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and dark brown sugar. Pour in the warm brown butter and whisk until smooth and glossy.
  • Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and molasses. Whisk until fully incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, combine gluten free flour, sea salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk together.
  • Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula, mixing until no dry flour remains.
  • Fold in chocolate chunks and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  • Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Baking

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop the chilled dough onto the prepared sheet, giving enough space for spreading.
  • Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and soft in the center.
  • Immediately sprinkle flaky sea salt on top after removing from the oven.
  • Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure brown butter is golden and fragrant. Use a kitchen scale for measuring gluten free flour for best results.
