Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The recipe combines gluten-free baking flour, almond flour, baking soda, and powder with softened butter, sugars, vanilla, and eggs to form a dough that is chilled before baking. Using chopped chocolate chips alongside whole chips distributes chocolates evenly throughout the cookie. The cookies bake at 375°F until light golden, with a step to drop the sheet pan on the counter mid-bake to slightly deflate and create a preferred texture.
These cookies provide a sweet, chocolate-heavy treat with a soft and slightly chewy crumb. The almond flour adds moisture and tenderness, differentiating them from many gluten-free recipes that can sometimes be dry.
They are suitable for serving as an everyday sweet or for those avoiding gluten. They stay fresh for about four days when stored properly.
A nut-free adaptation involves omitting almond flour and substituting additional gluten-free flour to accommodate allergies.
Ingredients
- 2 cups 1-to-1 baking flour Bob's Red Mill brand

- 1 cup chocolate chips Enjoy Life brand
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Place rack in middle of oven.

- Cover and place cookie dough in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
- Use a small ice cream scoop to drop cookies onto cookie sheet.

Notes

- For nut allergies, omit the almond flour and replace it with an equal amount of gluten-free all-purpose flour.
