• 2

  teaspoon
  kosher salt
• 1/2

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). In a large bowl, beat the dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, molasses, vanilla, and softened butter until well combined. Add the egg and continue mixing until the batter is smooth and glossy.
2. Sift or whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, kosher salt, and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until incorporated — avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender. Gently fold in both types of chocolate until evenly distributed.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie, roll the dough into balls and place them on the prepared sheet at least 2 inches apart. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden while the centers remain soft. Allow cookies to cool on the pan before transferring to a wire rack. Repeat with any remaining dough.
