GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES INGREDIENTS

You will need:
- 1 cup peanut butter, creamy
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup lightly packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
PEANUT BUTTER: Creamy peanut butter is the best, but if you would like to add a nutty crunch, feel free to use crunchy peanut butter. I would avoid using natural peanut butter for this because the oil separation can make these cookies greasy.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Semi-sweet chocolate chips would also work fine in this gluten-free cookie recipe. And of course, if you are a real chocolate lover, you can toss in a few extra chocolate chips for good measure.
SUGAR: You can substitute the white sugar with coconut sugar or cane sugar in a 1:1 ratio in this gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipe.
HOW TO MAKE THIS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
STEP TWO: Stir together peanut butter, both sugars, egg, baking soda, salt, and vanilla until well combined.
STEP THREE: Fold in chocolate chips until just incorporated.

STEP FOUR: Drop 2-inch balls of cookie dough (3 tablespoons of dough) onto the prepared baking sheets and bake at 350°F for 12-14 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
PRO TIP: A 2-inch or large cookie scoop would be the perfect size for these cookies.
PRO TIP: If you want smaller cookies, you can use a smaller cookie scoop and reduce the baking time by a couple of minutes.
STEP FIVE: Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely and enjoy.

STORAGE

These are the best chocolate chip cookies and a favorite recipe when I want to do gluten-free baking. They are soft, sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. You will be hooked the first time you take a bite of these addictive bakery-style cookies .
FAQ
You can use maple syrup instead of brown sugar. For every cup of brown sugar you will use ¾ cup maple syrup.
The main recipe ingredient in most cookie recipes is regular flour. Replacing it with gluten-free flour or eliminating the all-purpose flour altogether will make it gluten-free.
This gluten-free cookie recipe will freeze well stored in an airtight container for 3-6 months.

Made these last night and my husband said he didn’t like them, I thought they were really good, but today I can’t keep him out of them! I love them too, they have this awesome almost creamy texture inside. I think they were a bit crumbly coming off the cookie sheet and eating them warm, but they taste awesome especially next day! I will be making more of these often as I am trying to avoid gluten as much as possible and cookies are my weakness! Thanks for this great recipe!
