Description

Gluten-Free Brownie Cookies are rich, fudgy, and irresistibly chocolatey cookies that taste just like brownies but in handheld form. Made with simple gluten-free ingredients, they’re chewy on the inside, crisp on the edges, and perfect for chocolate lovers who want a flourless treat.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup almond flour (or fine gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or chunks (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter together in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, and vanilla until combined and slightly thickened.
  4. Whisk in the melted chocolate mixture until glossy.
  5. Stir in cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Then fold in almond flour until fully incorporated.
  6. If desired, fold in extra chocolate chips for added richness.
  7. Drop tablespoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. The batter will be thick and glossy.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the tops are shiny and cracked but the centers are still soft.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overbake — cookies will continue to set as they cool.
  • These cookies are naturally gluten-free when using almond flour, but ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free if needed.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
