How to make Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies (Overview)

Making these cookies is as easy as pie—err, cookie! Start by creaming together your butter and sugars until they’re light and fluffy. Then, add the egg and vanilla, and watch the magic happen. The dry mix comes next; just whisk those flours with some baking soda and salt before combining everything. Don’t forget to fold in those chocolate chips—you want chunks of joy in every bite!

Pro Tip: Let the dough chill for a few minutes before scooping. It makes for thicker, chewy cookies!

How to store Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Tips to make Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Measure your flours precisely—too much coconut flour can make them dry.
2. Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
3. Add nuts or dried fruit for extra flavor and a twist.
4. Chill your dough if you prefer thicker cookies.

Variation

Looking for a change? Swap the chocolate chips for white chocolate or nut butter. For a vegan twist, use coconut oil in place of butter and replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water). The options are endless! 🍪

FAQs

1. Can I use regular flour instead?
Nope! This recipe is specifically designed to be gluten-free. But if you’re not gluten-sensitive, feel free to use all-purpose flour.

You can prep the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. Just bake fresh cookies whenever you’re ready!

3. Can I freeze the cookie dough?
Absolutely! Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Just bake straight from frozen, adding a few minutes to the baking time.
