Instructions

In a medium size bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or in a bowl with an electric hand mixer, beat the sugars and butter on medium-high speed until light and paler in color, about 2-3 minutes. You may need to scrape down the bowl after a minute and keep beating to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.

Add in the vanilla and egg and beat until fully combined.

Then, add in the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.

Lastly, fold in the chocolate.

With a small cookie scoop, place balls of cookie dough on one baking sheet, top each with more chopped chocolate, and freeze for at least 15 minutes.

While the dough is in the freezer, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place the cookie dough 2 inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for about 12 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Use Cornstarch for Structure 🌽
The cornstarch in this recipe is crucial for binding and texture since gluten-free flour lacks gluten's elasticity. Don't skip it or reduce it, as it prevents the cookies from spreading too thin and helps maintain that signature soft, chewy interior.
Chill Dough Before Baking ❄️
Refrigerate your dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and ensure thicker, chewier cookies. Gluten-free dough spreads more readily, so chilling is essential for the perfect texture.
Brown Your Butter for Depth 🧈
Brown your unsalted butter before mixing to add a rich, nutty flavor that compensates for the subtle taste differences in gluten-free flour. This elevates the overall chocolate chip cookie experience significantly.
Reserve Flaky Salt for Finishing ✨
Don't mix all your flaky sea salt into the dough—sprinkle it on top immediately after removing cookies from the oven while they're still warm. This creates delightful salty-sweet bursts that enhance the chocolate's richness.
Blend Sugars for Optimal Texture 🍯
Use a 1:1 ratio of light brown sugar to granulated sugar; the molasses in brown sugar adds moisture and chewiness while granulated sugar promotes slight spreading and crispness at edges. This balance is critical without gluten's natural structure.
