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 with you all. May 15 is National Chocolate Chip Day after all!
Some actually call it National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day but I consider that August 4. Although why wait? Make chocolate chip cookies now and again in August. At a minimum! I sincerely hope you enjoy chocolate chip cookies more than twice a year.
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?
Perhaps you need grain-free recipes, low-carb recipes, or chocolate chip cookie recipes that have surprising ingredients.
I’ve got them all for you! Go ahead and find your new favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe! But please skip the recipes with oats for now. Read why below:
UPDATE: On April 4, 2023, Gluten-Free Watchdog issued a new statement, Gluten-Free Watchdog Cannot Recommend Any Brand of Gluten-Free Oats. Read the full statement here. This statement was followed by details on recent testing results of gluten-free products that contain oats, which showed 30% of the labeled gluten-free oat products tested contained quantifiable gluten.
This statement was followed by details on recent testing results of gluten-free products that contain oats, which showed 30% of the labeled gluten-free oat products tested contained quantifiable gluten. I’m not eating any oats and I urge all of my readers who eat gluten free for medical reasons to also abstain for now.
