These Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies are so delicious, and are crisp on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. These cookies are made with seven ingredients and are super easy to make.
I have been recipe testing gluten free chocolate chip cookies for awhile now and I struggled to find the right ingredient combination.
Until now….
These choc chip cookies are based on my ginger cookie recipe and are so easy to make. Best of all the ingredients can be bought at your local supermarket!
First you need to prepare the batter, which you have to be careful not to eat all the dough up. You can always make these cookie dough balls.

HOW TO MAKE
Step 1 – Make the cookie dough
Add the wet ingredients to a large bowl and mix well to ensure that there is no clumps. Then add the wet ingredients and mix to get a crumbly dough. Then fold the chocolate chips through the mixture.
Step 2 – Form into balls
Then you use a soup spoon to scoop out the dough and roll into balls. I recommended having slightly damp hands so that the batter does not stick to your hands.
Step 3 – Bake the cookies
Then cook for approximately 20 minutes! This will ensure that the outside is crunch and the middle soft.
RECIPE FAQS
I would allow at least 20 minutes for the cookies to firm up before you enjoy them. They will still be warm but will have firmed up enough to enjoy as a cookie.
You can use whatever one you like that is suited to your dietary needs? Regular, dairy free, sugar free, carob and cacao nibs will all work. You can also use milk chocolate, dark, white! To keep the recipe dairy free, you will need to use dairy free chocolate chips or cacao nibs.
