Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies – Soft, Chewy, and Irresistible

These Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies are a perfect treat for anyone with dietary restrictions or those simply looking for a healthier alternative without sacrificing flavor. Made with gluten-free flour and a few simple ingredients, these cookies are just as soft, chewy, and delicious as their traditional counterparts. The blend of butter, brown sugar, and vanilla creates a rich base, while the chocolate chips provide the perfect balance of sweetness. You can easily substitute the chocolate chips for dark chocolate or use a sugar substitute if you prefer a lower-sugar option. These cookies are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven with a glass of milk, but they also store well for later enjoyment.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   
   

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

7. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
   
   

8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
   
   

9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
