Here’s a simple, reliable gluten-free cookie recipe that gives you soft, chewy cookies without any complicated ingredients:
Easy Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup butter (softened)
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups chocolate chips (make sure they’re gluten-free)
Instructions
Preheat oven
Set to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Cream butter & sugar
In another bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs & vanilla
Mix in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
Combine everything
Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined.
Add chocolate chips
Fold them in evenly.
Shape cookies
Scoop dough onto the tray (about 1–2 tbsp each), leaving space between them.
Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden.
Cool
Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
Tips for Best Results
Chill dough for 30 minutes if you want thicker cookies
Don’t overbake—they firm up as they cool
Use a good gluten-free flour blend (rice + tapioca + potato starch works great)
