A quick and easy recipe for chewy gluten-free chocolate chip cookies that are soft, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion. These cookies use simple pantry staples and deliver a classic chocolate chip cookie texture without gluten.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (210 g) gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum included)
  • 2 tablespoons (16 g) cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170 g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed just until incorporated. The dough will be thick and a bit sticky.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and beginning to turn golden but centers remain slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra chewiness, slightly underbake by 1 minute and let residual heat finish baking on the tray. Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes before baking to improve texture and flavor. Use softened butter, not melted, to avoid flat cookies. Avoid overmixing after adding dry ingredients to prevent tough cookies. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
