- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar

Step-by-Step Directions
Turn 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is important for baking your cookies evenly.
Turn 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure everything is mixed well.
Turn 3
In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it becomes smooth. This should take a couple of minutes.
Turn 4
Beat in the large egg and the vanilla extract until everything is combined well.
Turn 5
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until no flour pockets remain. Your dough should be thick and rich.
Turn 6
Fold in the chocolate chips, allowing their goodness to blend with the dough.
Turn 7
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Give each dollop space to spread.
Turn 8
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. The middle may look soft, but it will firm as it cools.
Turn 9
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy once cooled!

FAQs About Gluten Free Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Can I substitute regular flour for gluten-free flour?
No, this recipe is designed for gluten-free flour blends. Using regular flour will change the texture and won’t be safe for gluten-sensitive eaters.
How do I know when the cookies are done?
The edges should look set and slightly firm, while the centers may still look soft. Don’t worry they’ll firm up as they cool, giving you that perfect chewy texture.
Can I freeze the dough?
Yes! Scoop the dough into balls, freeze on a baking tray, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Bake from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to the baking time.
Can I make these dairy-free as well?
Absolutely. Use a plant-based butter and dairy-free chocolate chips to keep the same rich flavor while making them dairy-free.
Why are my cookies too flat?
This can happen if your butter was too warm or if the dough was overmixed. Chill the dough for 15–20 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
