gluten free dairy free chocolate chip cookies

Here’s a simple, chewy gluten-free & dairy-free chocolate chip cookie recipe that works great for beginners 🍪

½ cup dairy-free butter (like Earth Balance or Miyoko’s), softened

½ cup brown sugar

¼ cup white sugar

1 egg (room temperature)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

¾ cup dairy-free chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl, cream together the dairy-free butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth.

Mix in the egg and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Scoop dough (about 1½ tbsp per cookie) onto the baking sheet, spacing them out.

Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are set but centers look slightly soft.

Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then move to a rack.

For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.

If your gluten-free flour doesn’t include xanthan gum, add ¼ tsp.

Want extra flavor? Add a pinch of cinnamon or sea salt on top.

If you want them crispy, chewy, or vegan (egg-free), tell me and I’ll tweak the recipe for you 😊
