What’s in this Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe?
This gluten free chocolate chip cookies recipe is so good, you won’t miss that pesky gluten. Bake the ultimate soft chocolate chip cookies with gluten-free flour and cornstarch!
Butter: Salted butter enhances the rich, chocolatey flavor of these cookies. Sugar: A mixture of granulated and dark brown sugar gives these cookies a sweet, molasses-y flavor that’ll keep you coming back for more. Egg: Helps bind the dough together and makes these cookies rich. Vanilla Extract: Adds that classic chocolate chip cookie flavor. Gluten Free Flour: I’m so lucky to be working with Bob’s Red Mill, which just happens to make my all-time favorite Gluten Free 1:1 Baking Flour. Cornstarch: This is my secret ingredient! It thickens up the dough to create the softest, chewiest chocolate chip cookies you’ve ever tasted! Baking Soda: Helps the dough to rise in the oven. Kosher Salt: Just a sprinkle of coarse salt balances out the flavor of these cookies and keeps them from being too sweet. Chocolate Chips: I used milk chocolate chips, but dark, semisweet, or a mixture of all three would also work.
Pro Tip: Because we’re using 1:1 flour, you can easily make this insanely good recipe with regular all-purpose flour if you’re not gluten free!
Variations on GF Chocolate Chip Cookies
These chocolate chip cookies are the perfect base to make all of your cookie dreams come true. Experiment with different mix-ins, like flavored baking chips, candied nuts, M&M’s or chopped candy pieces, dried fruit, popcorn, potato chips… the sky’s the limit! A gluten free version of my movie night cookies would be delish!
How to Store
Store these gluten free cookies in an airtight container or Ziplock bag at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. A classic trick for storing baked goods is placing a slice of bread into the bag/container with them. The cookies will absorb moisture from the bread over time, so the bread will end up stale, but the cookies will stay soft.
How to Freeze
You can also freeze chocolate chip cookies after baking them if you want to store them for a longer period. They will keep well for up to 1 month in an airtight container, but who really wants to freeze them when you could eat them instead?
Serving Suggestions
Grab a big glass of milk, oat milk (using gluten free oats, of course!), cold brew, or chai tea, bake these soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies, and get ready to have your life changed. These cookies also pair well with peanut butter fluff spread, cookies and cream butter (made with gluten free Oreos), chocolate fudge frosting, or a big scoop of red velvet ice cream. Yum!
