Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups gluten-free flour (King Arthur Measure for Measure)
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp espresso powder
- 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/8 oz white vinegar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp unsulphured molasses
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp red food coloring
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 5 GF chocolate cookies (roughly crushed into 1/2-inch chunks)
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp chocolate chips (Ghirardelli 60% Cacao)
- 9 GF chocolate cookies (Glutino brand, for pressing into warm cookies)
Instructions
- Start by combining the milk and vinegar in a small bowl and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to make a buttermilk substitute.
- While the buttermilk develops, whisk together gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and espresso powder in a separate bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the room-temperature butter and dark brown sugar for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
- Then add the cornstarch slurry, curdled buttermilk, molasses, vanilla extract, and red food coloring and mix until well combined.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Then stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and roughly crushed cookie pieces.
- Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 150 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F.
- After chilling, scoop 12 balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Press the tops of each dough ball into the Ghirardelli chocolate chips before baking.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes until edges are set but the center is still soft.
- Remove from the oven and immediately press 9 GF chocolate cookies into the tops.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature. Do not skip the chilling time to maintain cookie shape.
