What You’ll Need (Ingredients)
To make these delicious treats, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). A properly heated oven helps your cookies bake evenly with golden edges and soft, chewy centers.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures the leavening is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In another bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. This creates the sweet, airy base for your cookies.
Step 4: Add the Vanilla and Egg
Mix in the vanilla extract and egg until fully combined. These additions bring both moisture and flavor, giving your cookies a rich taste.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Gradually stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing keeping the dough light ensures tender cookies.
Step 6: Fold in the Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the chocolate chips so they’re evenly scattered throughout the dough. Every bite will be filled with gooey chocolate goodness.
Step 7: Prepare the Baking Sheet
Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each one. This gives the cookies room to spread as they bake.
Step 8: Bake the Cookies
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Keep a close watch—each oven bakes a little differently.
Step 9: Cool Before Serving
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set while keeping their soft, chewy centers.

FAQs About Bakery Style Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Can I use regular flour instead of gluten-free flour?
This recipe is crafted specifically for gluten-free flour blends, so regular flour will change the texture. If you don’t need them gluten-free, try a classic chocolate chip cookie recipe instead.
What can I use instead of eggs?
You can replace the egg with a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water) or ¼ cup applesauce. Both keep the cookies moist and chewy.
How do I make sure the cookies stay chewy?
The key is not to overbake. Remove them from the oven when the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to set while staying chewy.
Can I freeze the dough or baked cookies?
Yes! Scoop the dough into balls and freeze on a tray, then store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. You can also freeze baked cookies. Warm them in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes to bring back that fresh-baked texture.
Can I add other flavors?
Absolutely. Try swapping in dark chocolate, adding a pinch of cinnamon, or folding in chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
