Here’s a tasty gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipe that’s highly rated and easy to make. These cookies are chewy, have crisp golden edges, and gooey centers—perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth, and you’d never know they’re gluten-free!

Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 1/3 cups (200g) gluten-free measure-for-measure flour (with xanthan gum)
  • 1/4 cup (25g) almond flour (or substitute with more GF flour for nut-free)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (113g) butter
  • 1 tablespoon milk of choice
  • 3/4 cup (160g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Mix-Ins:

  • 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips
  • Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Whisk Dry Ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  2. Brown the Butter:
    Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Once it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, remove from heat and pour into a bowl.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
    Add the milk, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to the brown butter. Whisk to combine.
    Whisk in the egg and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  4. Mix Dough:
    Using a spatula, stir in the dry ingredients until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Rest the Dough:
    Cover and let the dough sit at room temperature for 30 minutes (or refrigerate for up to 5 days). This step helps hydrate the flour and develop flavor.
  6. Bake:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
    Scoop dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place 2 inches apart on the sheet.
  7. Bake & Cool:
    Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are set.
    Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired[1].

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum (such as King Arthur Measure-for-Measure or Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Baking Flour)[1].
  • For dairy-free, use melted dairy-free butter and omit the milk. Use dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • For nut-free, replace almond flour with more gluten-free flour.

These cookies are freezer-friendly and can be made ahead. Enjoy a classic, chewy, and delicious gluten-free treat[1][2][3]!
