Description
Make soft, chewy gluten-free chocolate chip cookies that taste just like the classic version. This recipe yields comforting, tender cookies perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups (315 g) all purpose gluten free flour blend
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if flour blend contains it; use a heaping 1/2 teaspoon if omitting)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (164 g) packed light brown sugar
- 8 tablespoons (112 g) unsalted butter, cool room temperature
- 2 large eggs, room temperature, beaten
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, plus more as desired
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour blend, xanthan gum, salt, baking soda, and granulated sugar.
- Add the brown sugar and whisk again, breaking up any lumps.
- Create a well in the center and add the butter, eggs, and vanilla. Mix the wet ingredients in the center, then stir into the dry ingredients until combined.
- Fold in 12 ounces of chocolate chips. The dough will be thick. Add more chips if you want.
- Divide the dough into 21 to 24 portions, about 50 grams each. Roll into balls, then flatten into disks about 1 1/2-inches in diameter and 1/2-inch thick.
- Press a few extra chips onto each dough ball if you like.
- Arrange cookies about 2 inches apart on the lined baking sheets.
- Cover and chill the shaped dough for 12 hours or up to 5 days for best flavor and thickness. Chilling for 30 minutes helps control spread.
- Bake one sheet at a time until the edges are golden and the center is just set, about 12 minutes.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For the best texture, use a gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum or add the specified amount.
- Chilling the dough overnight produces the thickest, most flavorful cookies.
- If you are short on time, chilling for 30 minutes is better than no chilling.
