Author Notes
Although I usually make this recipe non-gluten free (subbing some white flour and oatmeal), they taste surprisingly better as gluten-free and have a great chewy consistency.
The peanut flour I use is from Trader Joe's - it's naturally gluten free and is a good source of protein. The chocolate chips taste absolutely sinful, too. I like to put fork marks on the cookies so they look like peanut butter cookies; it also helps flatten them after they puff up in the oven.
Browning the butter and resting the dough while mixing gives the cookies a chewier consistency and a slight caramel taste. —TheGourmetExperiment
Ingredients
-
1 cup
peanut flour
-
1/4 teaspoon
baking soda
-
1/4 teaspoon
baking powder
-
8 tablespoons
butter
-
1/2 cup
brown sugar, packed
-
1/4 cup
white sugar
-
2
eggs
-
1 teaspoon
vanilla
-
1 cup
chocolate chips
Directions
-
In a small pan, brown butter over medium heat. It should smell nutty when ready. Meanwhile, mix dry ingredients (minus sugars) together and set aside.
-
In a stand mixer, combine browned butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat for 30 seconds on medium low and then let the batter rest for 3 minutes; repeat this 2 more times.
-
Continue beating on medium low and add dry ingredients slowly until combined. Then add in the chocolate chips and stop beating once incorporated.
-
For best results, chill the dough for about 1 hour to overnight. Then ball the chilled dough into individual cookies and flatten using a fork in a criss-cross pattern. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
