Serves: 36 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 stick butter
  • ¼ cup shortening
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup brown rice flour
  • ⅓ cup coconut flour
  • ½ cup sweet sorghum flour
  • ½ cup tapioca starch
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • ½ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Directions
  1. In a small saucepan, melt stick of butter on medium heat. Continue heating, stirring occasionally, until butter mixture becomes a dark amber color and is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately pour into a small bowl. Set aside and allow to cool.
  2. Once browned butter is cooled to room temperature, begin making dough. In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together browned butter, shortening, eggs, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until pale and smooth. Add vanilla and mix until combined.
  3. In a smaller bowl, sift together brown rice flour, coconut flour, sorghum flour, tapioca starch, cornstarch, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and xanthan gum. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and mix on medium speed until combined. Mix for an additional 2 minutes. Mix in chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 20-30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop walnut sized pieces of dough and roll into balls. Place on cookie sheet 2" apart. Lightly flatten with palm of your hand, still keeping the dough quite thick, but giving it a slight circular shape.
  5. Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes until browning on edges. Remove from oven and slide parchment paper onto cooling racks. Allow cookies to completely cool before removing from parchment paper.
