While everyone has his or her own idea of the ideal Chocolate Chip Cookie, I thought I’d share some of my favorite gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipes for National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. A lot of these are my favorite gfe recipes but there are also quite a few wonderful chocolate chip cookie recipes from my gluten-free friends!
These recipes run the gamut … traditional Toll House-style gluten-free cookies … rich brown sugar chocolate chip cookies … rum-enhanced cookies that conjure visions of Johnny Depp … banana chocolate chip cookies (amazing with their melty chocolate chips) … banana flour chocolate chip cookies (yes, banana flour–do you know about it?) … traditional “real deal” albeit grain-free chocolate chip cookies … bourbon- and bacon-enhanced chocolate chip cookies … almond coffee chocolate chip cookies … oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. And that’s not all of the recipes featured here!
Sometimes the very best thing one can do to any cookie recipe is to add chocolate chips, don’t you think? Do you like thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies? thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies? light and airy chocolate chip cookies? Do you need grain-free chocolate chip cookies? Or dairy-free chocolate chip cookies?
I’ve got them all for you! Go ahead and find your new favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe!
