Her Recipe: Gluten Free Chewy Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Fleur de Sel

Let me tell you gluten-phobes something - there is very little that will make you feel more normal than having a log of cookie dough chillin' in the fridge. Except maybe eating bread. At a restaurant. But whatever, this is a close second.

Now, when I saw the title of this recipe ("Best Chocolate Chunk Cookies You'll Ever Have") on a regular, flour-friendly blog, I figured there was no way they would be gluten free. Wrong. Even better, they use only three types of flour and no pricey xanthan gum. Rad!

Chewy Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Fleur de Sel

I've made these a handful of times, so here are my notes from experience:

• If you have a scale, use it. Don't be scared that the batteries will miraculously die mid-recipe, like I was. Baking by weight is SO MUCH faster.
• I used 1/2 dark chocolate chunks and 1/2 semi-sweet chocolate chips. 
• I rolled my dough log to about 16" long (instead of 12") to weasel out a few more cookies.
• The log of dough freezes really well. Wrap in tightly in parchment, then plastic wrap. Before cutting/baking, just pull the log out of the freezer and let it defrost a bit. Or move it into the fridge to slowly defrost.
• As stated in the recipe, the cookies will feel very underdone when you pull them out of the oven. Skip panicking - they will firm up as they cool.
