Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature, for dairy free I suggest Earth Balance sticks
  • 1/2 cup packed muscovado sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup brown rice flour
  • 1/2 cup amaranth flour
  • 1/4 cup tapioca starch
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked salt (I recommend cherrywood or hickory, both are great for different reasons)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks (I mixed Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips and Enjoy Life mini chips) or 1 cup chips, for dairy free use this bar, chopped up (I mixed Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips and Enjoy Life mini chips)
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a small dish, whisk together the flaxseed and warm water. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter, sugars and vanilla extract. Mix with the paddle attachment on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, then add the flax mixture and mix 1 minute on medium speed.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the brown rice flour, amaranth flour, tapioca starch, nutmeg, salts, and baking soda.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and mix on medium speed until the dough comes together.
  • Add the chocolate chunks and mix until thoroughly incorporated.
  • Scoop the dough onto a piece of cling wrap and form into a log about 2” wide and 12” long.
  • Wrap and freeze for at least 1 hour.
  • Heat the oven to 350F and line baking sheets with parchment.
  • Cut the log into ½” disks, placing them 2” apart on the sheets.
  • Sprinkle the tops with a bit of Kosher salt and turbinado sugar.
  • Bake for 11-12 minutes, until edges set and start to turn golden. They might look a bit underdone, but this is fine.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
  • Store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze - these make insane ice cream sandwiches!
