Once I got over the butter hump, I did everything else the same and the cookies turned out beautifully. Dark, rich, chewy, melty cookies came out of the oven and we were able to begin enjoying them after allowing them to cool for about 10 minutes. Even after a few days stored in Pyrex containers, they were still chewy, albeit a little crumbly. But that's when I put them over ice cream and really spoiled myself! All in all, a worthwhile recipe to try, whether you're gluten-free or not! The perfect balance between brownie flavor and cookies.
Gluten-Free Brownie Cookies (adapted from Bakerita; makes ~2 dozen)
1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup cocoa powder
1/2 - 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking sheets. With an electric mixer, blend the butter and sugars together until combined well. Add the egg and vanilla, continuing to beat on a low speed until well mixed. Add the baking soda, salt and cocoa powder, beating until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips with a rubber spatula. Scoop dough in tablespoon-size dollops onto baking sheet; I only put 8 cookies per sheet since they will grow in the oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until done but still soft in the middle. Cool on tray for 7 minutes then transfer to a wire cooling rack. Allow to cool for another 10 minutes before enjoying with a big glass of milk!
