- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Step-by-Step Directions
Turn 1: Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step ensures your cookies bake evenly and come out perfectly.
Turn 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir them well until they are blended.
Turn 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
Turn 4: Combine Wet and Dry
Gradually add the bowl of dry ingredients to the mix of wet ingredients. Stir until everything is combined and forms a dough.
Turn 5: Add Chocolate Chips
Fold in the chocolate chips gently so that they spread evenly throughout the dough.
Turn 6: Scoop the Dough
Use a tablespoon to scoop dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave some space between each scoop.
Turn 7: Bake
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the edges turn golden brown.
Turn 8: Cool Down
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set perfectly.

FAQs About Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Can I substitute the coconut oil?
Yes, melted unsalted butter works beautifully for a richer flavor, while avocado oil keeps things light. Both will give you slightly different textures, but still delicious results.
What’s the best way to store these cookies?
Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to three months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes to restore that fresh-baked taste.
Why are my cookies spreading too much?
If your dough is warm, the cookies can flatten as they bake. To fix this, chill the dough for 15–20 minutes before scooping and baking. It helps the cookies hold their shape.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely. You can refrigerate the dough for up to 48 hours or freeze portioned dough balls for quick baking whenever the craving strikes. Just bake directly from frozen, adding a minute or two.
What mix-ins work well besides chocolate chips?
Chopped pecans or walnuts add crunch, dried cranberries or cherries bring a tart twist, and white or peanut butter chips create fun flavor variations.
