Gluten-free Chocolate Walnut Cookies

Microwave half of the chocolate chips plus 1 tablespoon butter in a bowl for 1 minute. Stir and heat for another minute or until chocolate is completely melted.

Place brown sugar, remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, and melted chocolate in the bowl of a large stand mixer and beat together until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract and continue to beat until creamy.

In another bowl, stir together the flours, baking powder, salt, walnuts, and remaining chocolate chips. Add to the creamed mixture and mix until well combined.

Scoop out single tablespoons of the dough and place 2 inches apart onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 12 minutes at 350 F in a preheated oven. Remove from the oven and cool completely on the pan. Carefully peel cookies from parchment paper once they have cooled.
