Dark buckwheat flour adds big flavor to these thick, chewy buckwheat cookies loaded with dark chocolate. The batter takes 10 minutes to stir together using melted butter, brown sugar, and all-purpose and whole wheat flours. Or make them gluten-free using sweet rice and tapioca flours instead. After a 10-minute bake, the cookies bake up with shiny, crinkled tops, crispy edges, and gooey middles. You won't ever want to go back to standard chocolate chip cookies after tasting these mega-flavorful buckwheat cookies.
