To all our cookie enthusiasts and kitchen warriors! Are you ready to tackle the holy grail of baking—the perfect chocolate chip cookie? Don’t let gluten free baking intimidate you. These cookies prove that you can have all the indulgence with none of the wheat. Bake a batch, and let us know how many you devour before they even hit the jar!
Not just any cookie, mind you — gluten free chocolate chip cookies. If you’ve been burned by crumbly disasters or chalky textures in the past, fear not! We’ve cracked the code, and we’re here to share the delicious secrets.
Why These Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies are a Winner
This recipe nails it: soft in the middle, slightly crisp on the edges, and packed with gooey chocolate goodness. The key is a perfectly balanced gluten free flour blend and a little patience (we know, we know, but trust us).
Ingredients
1 ½ cups Gluten Free Flour (King Arthur makes the good stuff, darling!)
1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum (if your flour blend does not contain it already)
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened (not melted, love, it’s cookies, not soup)
½ cup brown sugar, packed like a suitcase
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg (room temp, not straight from the fridge, ta)
1 tsp vanilla extract (the good stuff)
1 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white—whatever floats your biscuit)
Instructions
Prep Like a Pro:
First things first, preheat your oven to a toasty 350°F (175°C). Now, grab a baking tray and line it with parchment paper. No parchment? No problem! Just give the tray a light greasing and cross your fingers—they might stick, but hey, we warned you!
Whisk It Like You Mean It:
In a medium bowl, whisk together your King Arthur Gluten Free Flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt. It’s like assembling a dream team for your cookies. Add xantham gum if your end doesn't contain it already —it’s the glue that keeps your gluten free goodies from falling apart. Not sure if your flour already has it? Check the label, love—it’s not MI5-level classified.
Cream It, Baby!
Time to make magic. In a larger bowl, beat your butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s as fluffy and inviting as your favourite duvet. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until it’s all beautifully combined. A whiff of this, and you’ll be halfway to cookie heaven.
Get Doughy With It
Gradually add the dry ingredients to your wet mixture. Stir it all together like you’re starring in your own baking show. Once it’s transformed into glorious dough, fold in those chocolate chips. Resist the urge to eat the whole lot raw—we won’t judge, but the oven might feel a bit left out.
Shape It, Bake It, Love It
Scoop up tablespoon-sized blobs of dough and plonk them on your tray, making sure they’ve got some personal space (we’re not cramming sardines here). Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden and begging to be eaten.
Cool Your Jets
Let your cookies chill on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Or, if you’re feeling impatient (and who isn’t with cookies?), dig in while they’re still warm and gooey. No one’s watching.
Store ‘Em Right
Pop any leftovers—assuming there are any—into an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 5 days, but let’s be honest: they’ll be gone by tea time tomorrow. 🍪
Top Tips for Perfect Cookies Every Time
Room Temperature Ingredients: Butter and eggs at room temp blend better, giving you a smoother dough.
Chill Your Dough (Optional): If you want thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes. Or don’t. We’re not here to judge your life choices.
Don’t Overbake: They may look soft when you take them out, but that’s the secret to their chewy perfection.
