Soft, chewy, delicious, and so easy to make. These are the best gluten-free chocolate chip cookies.

This gluten-free cookie recipe is my favorite go-to cookie recipe. It's also dairy and soy-free. I love this recipe not only because the cookies turn out so soft and chewy, but also because it's really easy to make. So next time your sweet tooth strikes, give this gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipe a try. My hope is these cookies will inspire you on your gluten-free baking journey, and you will enjoy these with your family too.

INGREDIENTS

  • Gluten-Free Flour blend - Try my gluten-free flour blend HERE. Any store-bought gluten-free flour blend will also work in this recipe. I recommend Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Gluten-Free Flour (paid Amazon link).
  • Xanthan Gum - Check to see if your flour blend contains xanthan gum. If you are using my gluten-free flour blend you will need to add xanthan gum. Omit this if your flour mix already contains it.
  • Salt - I recommend using Redmond Sea Salt.
  • Baking Powder
  • Dairy-Free Butter - I use Earth Balance or Spectrum brands
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Brown Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • Vanilla
  • Chocolate Chips - I use Enjoy Life brand. These chocolate chips are free of all the top 9 allergens and are perfect for baking.

OPTIONAL: Short on time? Make this gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipe using a gluten-free chocolate chip cookie mix. There are many brands to choose from so read the ingredient labels carefully. Here are a few I recommend (paid Amazon links).

  2. Line 2 large baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. Set them aside.

  4. Add the butter, white and brown sugars, egg, and vanilla in the large bowl of a stand mixer.
  5. Mix the ingredients thoroughly at medium speed using the paddle attachment of your stand mixer.
  6. At low speed, fold the dry ingredients into the dough, adding a small amount at a time until combined.
  7. Fold the chocolate chips into the dough by hand using a spatula.
  8. Using a cookie scoop (paid Amazon link) or tablespoon, drop heaping tablespoons of the dough rolled into balls onto the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges begin to darken.
  10. Remove the cookies from the oven and cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
  11. Enjoy.

One of the biggest motivators for my recipes is my family. I am big on sharing family meals and dinners. I mean it seriously just warms my heart when we all come together and share a meal. 
That feeling of connection through food is so universal. When I was first diagnosed with food allergies it felt like I lost that connection. 
Another HUGE motivator for me is YOU! Yes, that's right YOU! I want you and your family to feel that connection through sharing meals together despite food allergies.
