Gluten-free Chocolate Chip Cookies
How do you like your chocolate chip cookies? My husband and kids like them fresh out the oven, all gooey and soft. I personally prefer them fully cooled, so the chocolate chips have a chance to solidify a bit. Let’s be honest, though, none of us hate chocolate chip cookies in any state.
When I found out I couldn’t eat gluten, I thought I’d never enjoy baked goods again, and I cried. Once I made these cookies, I stopped crying. 😉 They’re a little crisp around the edges, but soft in the middle, and will take you back big time. I love using half semi-sweet chocolate chips, and half milk chocolate chips (I really like Ghirardelli- the milk chocolate chips are ginormous).
These gluten-free chocolate chip cookies are just like the ones I made before (minus the gluten). They’re so good, and people are always surprised when they find out they’re gluten-free. Wins all around, my friends!
Gluten-free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 C Butter, softened (I use salted)
- 1 C Brown Sugar, packed
- 1/2 C White sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 1/4-2 1/2 C Gluten-free, measure for measure flour
- 1 Heaping C Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 Heaping C Milk Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Using a mixer, cream butter and sugars
- Mix in eggs
- Add baking soda and salt, mix
- Mix in flour, 1/2 cup at a time until combined; if after 2 1/4 cups of flour the dough seems too wet, add more flour, 1 tbsp at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- Scoop onto a cookie sheet (I use a size 40 scoop, about 1.5 T), about 2 inches apart. I usually do 12 to a sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are slightly golden, and the middle of the cookies don't look wet.
- Once baked, let them rest on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy!
