I didn’t originally plan on posting this recipe. In fact, it was really just a case of spending a lazy Friday night in and having a deliciously healthy Eggplant Parmigiana for dinner (recipe coming shortly), followed by a serious Choc Chip Cookie craving. What started out as a quest to satisfy my inner child resulted in a surprisingly successful batch of Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies that were so incredibly yummy I had to share the recipe!
I ate mine accompanied with a glass of almond milk… and may or may not have (but definitely did) dunked them in, just to be extra childish 
If you’re Coeliac or extremely sensitive to gluten, then you’ll know that a lot of chocolate and sweets can have hidden traces of gluten even when you least expect it. Check out Amazing Gluten-free Chocolate for plenty of to-die-for gluten free chocolate recipes.
Ingredients:
Makes 20 or more cookies
1 ½ cups Brown Rice Flour
½ cup Tapioca Flour
1 tsp Xanthan Gum
175g Vegan Butter
¾ cup Caster Sugar
¼ cup Brown Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
½ tsp Baking Soda
¼ cup Almond Milk
1 free range Egg
1 cup dark Chocolate Chips
Method:
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees.
- Place flour, xanthan gum, and baking soda in a large bowl.
- Cream butter and sugar in a separate bowl using an electric mixer. Add vanilla, egg, milk, and continue to beat until combined.
- Add flour mix to wet ingredients and continue to beat until smooth.
- Add chocolate chips and stir through with a wooden spoon.
- Grease a baking tray with vegan butter.
- Use a teaspoon to measure out small balls of dough and place on baking tray approximately 5cm apart (it doesn’t matter if the balls look like messy blobs, they still turn out perfectly).
- Bake for around 15-17 minutes them remove from oven and let them cool for about 20 minutes or so.
- Serve the cookies however you wish, but don’t expect them to hang around for long!
Enjoy!

Holy moly. Right before I read this post, I thought to myself – I wish someone would deliver a healthy chocolate chip cookie to my desk, ASAP! You have definitely done that, although in digital form
These look amazing!
Glad I could help out Becky
I guarantee you will LOVE these!
Wow these look super tasty and love that they are GF!
Thanks Natalie! I get a little overexcited when I have a major win with gluten free baking
These look so soft and perfect–delicious!
Kiersten I was so surprised how good they turned out and they weren’t dry at all (like some gluten free baked goods can be).
Yum! Nothing beats a classic chocolate cookie, eh? Well…except a healthier gluten free version!
I had a chocolate chip craving last week, too- so weird!! I ended up making a vegan wheat free version. We are awesome! haha
Koko! I should get the recipe off you to try… we are awesome indeed
Oh this is so hard – I’m going carb-free this week (to support my non-veg partner who’s on the Meat Free Week challenge) and these cookies look too good! I will just have to imagine I’m eating them vicariously through your blog!!
That sounds like it’s going to be tough Lisa! I haven’t made the cookie recipe again since last week purely because I know I don’t have enough self control not to eat half of them! Good on your partner for going meat-free, what a great idea
