Why I love this recipe

When I first started gluten and dairy free baking, I disliked the extra time many cookie doughs needed to sit in the refrigerator to firm up. So, I was very excited to figure out a way to create no-chill cookie doughs!

When a cookie craving hits or for a last minute dinner guest, this recipe will soon become your quick go to dessert. Baked in under 15 minutes, these scrumptious Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies puff up into a soft, chewy, chocolate gooey dream!

Ingredients for gluten-free, dairy-free, chocolate chip cookies in separate bowls: flour, cubes of butter, vanilla, sugar, eggs, almond butter, chocolate chips and chocolate chunks.

Cooking tips

Almond butter helps create the lovey "chewy" consistency in these cookies. Feel free to replace with peanut butter or cashew butter if you prefer. It will change the taste of the cookies, especially peanut butter.

Having room temperature eggs and slightly softened butter is important to obtain the soft fluffy texture of these cookies. Try these hacks to make this process much faster:

  • For quick room temperature eggs: place eggs in a small bowl and cover with lukewarm water. Let sit for 1-2 minutes.
  • For quick butter softening: fill large bowl half-way with tap water on hottest setting. Let set 30 seconds to 1 minute. Drain and wipe dry with paper towel. Slice butter into 1 tablespoon squares and add to warmed bowl. Let set 1-2 minutes. Viola! Softened butter.

I've found this blend of sugar to yield the best flavored cookies. However, I have made them will all maple sugar or all coconut sugar and no one else in my family noticed. So, feel free to use only one kind of sugar if that's all you have on hand. Or use a blend of white cane sugar and brown sugar if this is what you have on hand.

Xanthan gum can be found in the allergy friendly section of most grocery stores’ baking aisle. It's Whole30 and Paleo approved and helps to bind this gluten-free dough together. This allows the baked cookie hold it’s structure. Many pre-mixed gluten free flours contain a binder of some sort, usually xanthan or guar gum. So, I would advise you not skip this ingredient, otherwise your cookies could turn out crumbly.

You can store Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

*This is my go to for semi-sweet chocolate chunks. I like that this brand doesn't have any artificial sweeteners and has a really great taste.
**If you do not need to avoid soy, here is a budget allergy friendly semi-sweet chocolate chip brand that I like.  When I need to avoid soy I typically stick with EnjoyLife brand chocolates. If you've found another dairy-free, soy-free chocolate chip brand that tastes great send me a comment to let me know!
***I typically have three rows of four cookies per cookie sheet with two cookies leftover. I reuse one of the cooled down cookie sheets and pop in the last two cookies on that.
