Why these are the BEST Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you’re like me, every once in a while you probably get a STRONG craving for some simple yet decadent and delicious chocolate chip cookies. Maybe you’ve tried paleo coconut flour chocolate chip cookies or gone vegan with a batch of vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

These cookies are chewy, rich and have the perfect amount of sweetness to curb that craving!
How to make the BEST Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Prepare
Turn on the oven and let it preheat. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
Mix
Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set it aside. In a separate, larger bowl, beat the butter and sugar together using an electric hand mixer. Now add in the vanilla, egg yolk and oil, beating again until smooth. Add in the dry mixture, stirring to combine, then add in the chocolate chips and stir once more.
Bake
Drop the cookie dough by spoonfuls onto the prepared pans and place them in the freezer to chill for a bit. Next, put the pans directly into the oven and bake until the centers are just set.
DEVOUR
Let the cookies cool on the pan for a bit, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Serve them up and enjoy!
Top Tips for making Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
- Xantham Gum is important: Find a 1:1 gluten free flour blend that includes xantham gum, as it is a vital binding ingredient!
- Freeze the cookie dough: Once you have spooned your dough out onto the prepared pans, be sure to freeze them before baking! This makes for the BEST chewy textured cookies.
- Cooling Tips: I recommend cooling these cookies on the pan for a little while to let them set up before transferring them to the cooling rack. This will ensure they don’t fall apart!
Recipe Variations
If you’re loving the sounds of this cookie recipe but want to mix things up, you most definitely can! If you want to try to make this a gluten free egg free chocolate chip cookie recipe, you could substitute the egg yolk for a flax egg. I have not tried it myself, but if you do, let me know how it goes! As far as add-ins go, have fun with it! These cookies would be delicious with some chopped nuts, raisins, dried cranberries, or white chocolate chips!
How to store Chocolate Chip Cookies
Now that you’ve baked and cooled a batch of cookies, it’s time to store them (after you’ve gobbled up a few, of course)! I recommend storing this gluten free chocolate chip cookie recipe in an airtight container or ziploc bag and labeling it with the date. They will last for up to a week in the fridge and up to 3 months in the freezer!
