Description
Delicious gluten-free chocolate chip cookies with a golden-crisp edge and a tender, chewy interior, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (only if your GF blend lacks it)
- ½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. If your GF blend lacks xanthan gum, add 1 teaspoon now.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
- Beat in the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low just until combined.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and any optional nuts or add-ins.
- Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and centers look set but still soft.
- Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a richer flavor, chill the dough for 20–30 minutes before baking, and rotate pans halfway through for even browning.
