Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Soft, chewy, and delicious gluten free chocolate chip cookies made in less than 30 minutes and you would never know they're gluten free! These cookies are made with lots of chocolate chips and require no special equipment or chilling time - BONUS!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (melted (1 ½ sticks))
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (room temp.)
- 1 large egg yolk (room temp.)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup gluten free 1:1 all purpose flour (with xanthan gum) (**I use Namaste brand because it always gives great results and already includes xanthan gum.)
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- flaky sea salt ((optional, for topping the cookies))
Instructions
- Preheat oven 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl mix together gluten free all purpose flour, oat flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, melt the butter. Whisk brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla into the melted butter until combined. Then whisk in one large egg plus one egg yolk.
- With a spatula, fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients. When there are just a few streaks of flour left, add in the chocolate chips and mix until chocolate chip cookie dough forms.
- With a medium sized cookie scooper or larger spoon, scoop evenly sized (around 1.5 - 2 tablespoons) cookie dough balls onto the parchment paper. Roll each cookie dough ball with your hands to create a smooth ball. Lightly pat down each dough ball gently with your fingers just a little bit to help them spread. Place on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.*start checking the cookies around 8 minutes. Do not overbake! Once lightly golden and baked on top, they are done.
- Let them cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire baking rack to cool completely. Sprinkle a tiny amount of flaky sea salt on top of warm cookies if desired. Enjoy!

Notes
**I use Namaste brand gluten free all purpose flour because it always gives great results and already includes xanthan gum. You can use other brands such as Bob's Red Mill or King Arthur Flour but ensure you are using a gluten free flour blend that already has xanthan gum in it. This helps ensure the proper texture for any gluten free baked item!
