A classic cookie turned gluten free, I know you guys are gonna flip for these warm, gooey, and delicious Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Gluten Free readers, this oneβs for you: a classic, warm, gooey, soft, delicious, yet totally Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe.
Heck yesssss.
Although Iβm not gluten free, I do have friends and family that follow a gluten free diet for one reason or another.
Back in high school my friend (Hiiiiii Emily π) decided to remove gluten from her diet.
Well.
Her birthday was right around the corner, so, of COURSE, I googled βHow to Make a Gluten Free Chocolate Cakeβ.
I got all the ingredients and made the cake.
What was supposed to be a delicious, dense, flourless, gluten free chocolate cake, actually turned into a moldy mess of a cake, because I forgot to put it in the fridge and left it out for god knows how long.
I DID do a little taste test before it got moldy and I gotta say, it wasnβt very good anyway.
Moral of the story, gluten free baking has come a loooooooong way since I was in high school.
Perfect example: these Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies.
This is definitely not my first gluten free cookie, but it might just be one of the best and easiest. The gluten free cookies Iβve made in the past have required what seems like 5,000 different flours and other weird ingredients I hardly ever have on hand (ahem, xanthan gum anyone?), so my goal today was to make a super EASY, no weird ingredients allowed, Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies.
8 years ago, that probably wouldnβt have happened, but NOW?
So easy.
There are so many cup-for-cup gluten free flour blends that can work perfectly in your fave chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Today, I used Bobβs Red Mill, but you can totally use your favorite cup-for-cup gluten free flour.
Weβre gonna start by whisking together our dry ingredients: GF flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Set that aside while you beat COLD butter until fluffy. Weβre using cold butter, because we want these bad boys to be ultra fluffy.
Then weβre gonna add in sugar (brown AND granulated), an egg, vanilla, and then the dry ingredients.
All thatβs left is to stir in the chocolate chips. I highly recommend you use semi-sweet chunks ANDΒ dark chocolate chips <β sooooooo goooooood.
Now. Word to the wise. DONβT EAT THE RAW DOUGH. Gluten Free flour, raw, tastes fuuuuuunky (to me at least), but something magical happens when theyβre baked, so just trust me, donβt eat the cookie dough (try THIS gluten free edible cookie dough instead) and wait until you bake βem up THEN d.e.v.o.u.r.
Gluten free or not, you guys are gonna love these.
These Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies are fluffy, tender, and the all around perfect cookie for you gluten free readers whoβve been missing out on the classic homemade cookie.
Enjoy!
