1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

2

Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.

3

Once the butter is melted and begins to foam, stir continuously to prevent the milk solids from sticking to the skillet, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma.

4

Remove from the heat and immediately pour into a medium bowl.

5

Add the milk, brown sugar and granulated sugar to the brown butter. Whisk to combine.

6

Whisk in the egg and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

7

Using a rubber spatula, mix in the dry ingredients until well-combined.

8

Stir in the chocolate chips.

9

Cover the bowl and let the dough sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

10

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

11

Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

12

Scoop the cookie dough into round balls, about 2 tablespoons per ball.

13

Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.

14

Bake until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

15

Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.

16

Sprinkle with flaky salt, if desired.

17

Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
