Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour – We used Bob’s Red Mill
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 8 Tablespoons Melted Butter
- 1/3 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 2/3 cup Granulated White Sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven to 350 degrees F.

- Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing bowl
- Mix melted, cooled butter and sugar in a separate large bowl until smooth.
- Add whisked eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Let dough rest for 10 minutes. The Cookie Dough will be sticky and soft.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Use an oiled spring-loaded cookie scoop to portion the dough balls about 2 inches apart. Bake one cookie sheet at a time for 11-13 minutes.
- Do not overbake, as the cookies will continue to set as they cool. Transfer to a wire rack after 5 minutes.
- Once the baked cookies are completely cool, store them in an airtight container on the counter. Cookies taste best freshly baked.
- The recipe makes 24 small cookies or 12 large cookies.
Notes
- If you use a different gluten free flour blend, the results may be different.
- We used Guittard Gluten-Free Milk Chocolate Chips
- Store in an airtight container on the counter. Cookies are best eaten within one day for maximum freshness.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips in this recipe.
- Can I freeze chocolate chip cookie dough?
You can freeze gluten-free chocolate chip cookie dough balls. Place them on a sheet pan and flash-freeze for one hour before transferring the dough balls to a plastic bag or airtight freezer-safe container. You can freeze cookie dough balls for up to three months. I recommend labeling and dating the frozen cookies. When ready to bake, place them on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and turn your oven to 350 degrees. Place the sheet pan in the oven with frozen dough balls spaced 2 inches apart. It might take a few extra minutes for cookies to bake. You can individually wrap frozen cookies. This way, you can always have a warm cookie!
