Redhead’s Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you’re wanting warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies right now…you’re in the right place!

Perfectly chewy, a slightly crisp edge, loaded with gooey chocolate chips, and only takes 5 minutes to make and 10 minutes to bake. My family LOVES these cookies and they’re easily the #1 go-to cookie in our house. My daughter’s and I created these cookies when they were little, so they’ve always been named after them. I promise, no one will even know they’re gluten-free and can easily be dairy-free too without sacrificing any deliciousness.

The Love Will Be Strong For These:

There’s so many gluten-free cookie recipes out there, but the fact that these only dirty up one bowl, use melted butter that can easily be microwaved, and only take a few minutes to whip up…makes these a winner!

• Ready to eat in 15 minutes total
• No mixer required, but we love to use ours
• Soft centers with slightly crisp edges and gooey chocolate
• Easy dairy-free swap: we like to use Earth Balance butter sticks
• Tastes like a classic bakery cookie but easily adheres to food allergies
• A sprinkle of sea salt: Optional, but delicious for gourmet bakery-style cookies!

No one will ever guess they’re gluten-free and/or dairy-free too!

Ingredients You’ll Need

Gluten-Free Flour: For best results, use a high quality gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum. My favorite gluten-free flour is Pamela’s Gluten-Free Flour Blend. I’ve also had great results with King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure-For-Measure Flour.

Butter: I love this recipe because I never remember to take butter sticks out to come to room temperature. So in this recipe, slightly melted butter from the microwave works fantastic or even sub butter for coconut oil, melted. You can use regular butter if there isn’t a dairy allergy.

Chocolate Chips: Chocolate chips are usually naturally gluten-free! If you have a dairy allergy like our household, then use dairy-free chocolate chips. My favorite brand is Guittard. You can also use chopped chocolate bars – any kind you like! I’ve also used the bag from Costco and Enjoy Life all with great results.

Salt: My favorite brand for cooking and baking is Real Salt. I swear it makes everything taste better and it’s a clean salt. Grab 15% off your purchases with my discount code: NIKKIROSS.

Add-ins: We love to add in coconut flakes, nuts, or dried fruit. We just add them during the chocolate chip step & add whatever amount looks good. This recipe really is that simple.

No food allergies?

These chocolate chip cookies can easily be made with regular all-purpose four, milk chocolate chips, and regular butter. Trust me, everyone will love these cookies either way!

Gift Idea:

These make the cutest gifts for birthdays, party favors, holidays, teacher gifts, and any other reason you can think of. It’s super simple: just grab a mason jar, add each dry ingredient at a time to make layers, and seal with the lid. I like to add a cute ribbon around the lid with a tag that has the directions for combining the wet and dry ingredients with the bake time.
