The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
Finally an easy gluten-free cookie recipe that has the traditional Toll House cookie texture & flavor: crispy on the edges, soft and chewy in the middle.
I love that this recipe only requires one type of flour. It works great with either gluten-free all purpose flour or gluten-free oat flour!

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
This recipe makes two dozen large cookies.
Serves: 24 – 170 calories 11 F / 17 C / 2 P per serving
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup coconut oil, ghee, or butter (180g)
1/3 cup coconut palm sugar or brown sugar (68g)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup (60ml)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (10ml)
1 egg*
2 cups gluten-free all purpose flour or oat flour (240g)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chocolate chips (240g)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine coconut oil or ghee, coconut sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and egg in a large bowl. Combine oat flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and stir until a thick dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Form dough into 1.5 inch balls and place about 2 inches apart (they will spread). I recommend baking 12 cookies at a time and baking in two separate batches.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes. Allow to cool, and enjoy!
TIP: form dough into balls, and freeze. Store in a freezer safe container. Pop a few in the oven whenever you want freshly baked cookies (just bake for a minute or two longer to defrost) 🙂
