While I have a few recipes for chocolate chip cookies on this site, they are either double chocolate, soft, or a bit crunchy. This one is your typical chewy gluten free chocolate chip cookies. I don’t know why I haven’t developed a recipe for them earlier as they are one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we have.

A buttery, chewy gluten free chocolate chip cookies recipe with plenty of chocolate chips - surely comfort food.
Ingredients:
- 1-1/4 cups + 2 tablespoons Carla’s Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour Blend recipe
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder (Rumford’s or Featherweight for corn-free)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 11 tablespoons (1 stick + 3 Tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened (Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks for dairy-free)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure/gluten-free vanilla extract
- 1 cup gluten-free semisweet or dark chocolate chips (Ghirardelli or Nestle’s; Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips for dairy-free)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a bowl, whisk flour blend, salt, and baking soda together set aside for later use.
- In the bowl of your mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add butter and sugar. Cream together until well combined, about 3 minutes.
- Add egg and vanilla; beat until thoroughly combined.
- Sprinkle in the flour mixture in three or four separate portions, and mix just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using the paddle attachment or a rubber spatula.
- Scoop 5 teaspoons (a little less than 2 tablespoons) of dough at a time (a spring-action scooper works well) onto a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper, spacing about 2 inches apart. (They'll spread quite a bit.). To make flat as in the photo, flatten them out a bit. Bake for about 10 minute or until golden brown.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 3 - 4 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container or freeze in a plastic zipper storage bag.
Tips
For multi-rack baking, switch the baking sheets to opposite shelves halfway through baking.
