Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Place quinoa in a food processor and pulse, scraping down sides often until it becomes a paste. Add butter, sugars, salt and vanilla then pulse until completely combined.
Transfer to a mixing bowl then sift in flour and baking soda. Mix until combined then fold in chocolate chunks. Drop golf ball-sized portions onto cookie sheets.
Bake 12–13 minutes or until lightly brown around edges and centers are firm. Remove from oven, cool on wire racks and enjoy!
