Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten-Free Recipe*)

Best gluten free chocolate chip cookie in the world. What a wonderful and compassionate company you are to make these available to us. I cannot wait to try every single GF recipe on this site. Please continue to add more GF recipes and I will be sure to tell all my GF buddies about this wonderful selection of recipes. Thank you so much. BTW - my husband and children inhaled these cookies and begged for more and they don't have to eat gluten free (just mom). :)

This recipe worked beautifully. . I used an almong flour, gluten free oat flour mix and traded out half the choc chips for Cacao Nibs. . .WOW!

These are awesome!! If you add a 3 1/5 oz package of instant pudding (vanilla, chocolate, or coconut), they will be even better! (Kraft pudding is gluten-free)

Our favorite recipe for chocolate chip cookies. I would recommend chilling the dough before scooping out and baking.

I made this anti candida friendly- once you are vast the first stage (white rice/potato starch not good)I used half buckwheat and half brown rice flour, replace all the sugar with slightly less xyitol, and used chocolate made with xyitol and NO sugar. They turned out great!!! More cake like than cookie and obviously still with some carb content but all the less damaging one and finally something to sate my sugar cravings, thank you! - Oh I also used a small amount of brown rice milk as my dough seem far to dry. And all my non weird diet friends loved the too.

Wonderful recipe very easy and delicious

I made this recipe and I would rate it 5/5 stars.
This is by far the best gluten free chocolate chip cookie recipe I've tried. The cookies are tasty, hold their shape well and the texture is as close to a 'normal' cookie as you can get.
Awesome!! I make them all the time and they never last because everyone gobbles them up.

i varied from the recipe slightly and it turned out kind of dry. I used milled flax seed instead of xantham gum and i did not have any vanilla.- all out! would this be the cause of the crumbliness?

Coeliacrecipes
Very good! Doesn't require a lot of additional ingredients like some gf recipes!

Everything other post say and more. This recipe goes to the top of your cookie recipe list. I made 3 1/2 the last six not quite as big as the others.

The best ... takes like 'gluten-full' tollhouse cookies!

I followed the recipe to the letter and LOVED every single thing about these cookies! They texture was perfect and they didn't fall apart when my kids dunked them in milk. Finally, a gluten free cookie recipe worth keeping and sharing!!!

I made these for Christmas and what a hit. Even those without Celiac enjoyed them. Can't wait for more gf recipes.

I made the above listed recipe for chocolate chip cookies ! ABSOLUTLEY WONDERFUL!! Thank you so much for sharing. Ill be chekcing your web site on a regular basis for more gluten free recipes. Thanks so much!

i made these because a friend has gluten-issues...you would never know they are gluten-free. ;)

Finally a successful cookie! Thank You Soo much Land O Lakes, for this great recipe. I will forever Love you guys!

excellent taste and texture!

Wow! These cookies taste EXACTLY like the chocolate chip cookies I would enjoy before going gluten - free. AMAZING!!! THANK YOU!!!!

Here is the gluten free recipe. Mike

This recipe is amazing! I've been gluten free for the past year and having to constantly reject delicious cookies and cakes pains me SO much! And sometimes when I try to bake gluten free foods they end up disgusting...this recipe however, was nothing like that! The cookies melted in my mouth and reminded me of the non-gluten free cookies my mom used to make! I definitely recommend this!

I made this into a cookie bar, it was awsome. Its nice to find a cookie that holds together and tastes great. Will be sending my daughter a care package filled with these.

This recipe is easy to double or make into bars with a little added baking soda and xanthan gum. Yummy and E-A-S-Y!!!

Super good! I used 1 cup all purpose gf flour, and 1 1/4 cups brown rice flour. I also used egg replacer instead of eggs... 3/4 cups maple syrup instead of brown sugar, no white sugar, and added another 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. The cookies were gone in minutes.

I live in Colorado and it's really dry -so were these cookies. I tried adding a little milk to the second batch, but now they turned out even more crumbly. They're tasty, but the texture is off.

These cookies are amazing. I make them at least twice a month. But, I did modify the recipe a bit. I replaced butter with Earth Balance and used EnerG instead of eggs. I also chilled the cookie dough for an hour before baking, makes a BIG difference. My family had no idea they were gluten free, and vegan :).

Amazing. They actually look and taste like what I remember eating when I ate gluten! I think when I store them, I might have to store them between layers of wax paper because there's a little bit sticking between cookies that are piled on top of one another.

Awesome cookies! I've been in search of a good gluten free chocolate chip cookie recipe and I've just found it. Thanks!

I like cookies

My son made this recipe and just used buckwheat flour instead of many mixes of flours. These are the best cookies I have ever had! So yummy!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Wow, these are good cookies. I used the Arrowhead Mills baking mix and they turned out really, really, really good, just ask my muffin top!

These cookies turned out really tasty! I used my own flour blend of sorghum flour, tapioca starch, cornstarch, brown rice and millet flour. I replaced the butter with shortening, to make them dairyfree. I also left out the white sugar, adding 10 drops of vanilla stevia instead. The cookies are soft and chewy with great flavor and no weird texture!

Pretty darn good chocolate chip cookie

These were delicious. Did not taste gluten free and the texture was great not too crumbly like some mixes I haves tried. Thank you for posting these recipes.

I made these and they are DELICIOUS. BUT... I varied from the original recipe just a tad. First I halved the recipe. I used 3/4 cup Gluten free bisquick and a heaping 1/4 cup almond meal/flour as my flour mixture. I omitted the Xanthan gum because there was already some in the baking mix. I added 1/4 tsp baking soda and omitted the baking powder (remember that this is for half of the recipe- not a whole batch). I cooked half and I'm refrigerating the rest of the dough for later use. They are delicious :)

This is second time I've made this recipe-- and it was excellent. It is easy to make and follow, as well as modify: I used buckwheat flour for a more robust and nutty flavor, as well as adding chopped roasted hazelnuts. Simple and perfect.

I made this recipe NOT using a flour blend--I just used GF brown rice flour. I also used egg whites only, and VEGAN chocolate chips. It didn't work so well. The cookies wouldn't stay together and they were SUPER thin. I will try the baking mix next time.

I am new to gluten free recipes and this is the first recipe I've attempted to bake. I followed the recipe exactly as it states. I did not have chocolate chips so I added white chocolate chips, chopped craisins and almonds. These are absolutely delicious!! Next time I may add almond extract for a different variation. Thanks so much for all the reviews. They helped when deciding to make these. A definite keeper.

used pamelas baking mix for flour. very perfect cookie recipe! thanks! this is my new go to.

I loved this recipe! It's so hard to find a good basic cookie recipe, but this one works great. I discovered that I needed 8 minutes exactly to cook them, no more, no less. I also added some shredded coconut and used frozen carob chips instead of chocolate. I ate some of these the next morning and they were still soft! I can't believe it! Great recipe. This is a keeper!

This was my first time trying a gluten-free recipe for my kids. I was a little worried as rice flour tends to be highly grainy. But I just watched my first pan come out of the oven. The cookies have that old fashioned cracked appearance. My son enjoyed the flavor right off the bat!

For me, I will portion the dough using a large cookie scoop. It still gets some crunch, but still has a nice center gooiness. I will use this recipe again.

the absolute BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe for people with Celiac's Disease, hands down!

I made this recipe today using Pamela's Flour Blend and added nuts...and I must say these were absolutely delicious. It had been 8 years since I've had a homemade chocolate chip cookie due to a Celiac diagnosis, and they were not a disappointment. My husband loved them as well. They were easy, and I cooked them for the 12 minutes and they were absolutely perfect. Thank you LOL for providing this recipe I plan to use again and again!!!!

I baked them for 10 minutes. I used 1/2 cup butter and 1/4 cup good margerine. They are yummy.

This my fall back for quick cookies right now. Yummy and chewy-er than others. Having to substitute some ingredients a bit--e.g., brown rice syrup instead of sugar (and less of it)--the recipe is pretty forgiving, too. I also used coconut oil instead of butter (sorry L.O.L's--I'll still use your eggs if you want), adding a pinch more salt. And guar gum instead of xanthan (and a little extra at that). Some ground flax just for fun and we have a cookie I can justify any day of the week.

This recipe is awesome. I have made it numerous times and it always turns out. Instead of the two eggs, I use 2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 6 tbsp warm water. I used Enjoy Life Choco Chips. I also use 1 cup rice flour and 1 cup sorghum flour.

Quite yummy. I used better batter flour blend. Delicious.

Made these and they came out just perfect! Substituted the butter for vegetable shortening straight across. Sooooo good, my 6 yr old told me my cooking skills are PRO!! lol Thanks for the recipe, This is a keeper!

I found & made this recipe today & I can't begin to tell you how happy I am! Thank you so much for giving me back a small piece of my childhood.

This is an amazing recipe! I made the cookies for girlfriend because she is gluten free and she loved them!

My son is allergic to dairy and eggs and is also on an elimination diet to uncover additional allergies, and I wanted to reward him with a treat that actually tasted good. These fit the bill. I made many substitutions and they still came out chewy and delicious. I used 1 c. rice flour and 1 c. sorghum flour, plus about 1/4 c. barley flour, Earth Balance dairy & soy-free margarine, plus the egg replacement mentioned by Sheila on 9/9/10. I subbed tapioca for the xanthan gum ( it's made from corn) and made my own baking powder to avoid the cornstarch. I used Enjoy Life dairy & soy free chocolate chips. The flours I used tasted slightly gritty, but overall it was very much like a Toll-House cookie! He loved them! Thank you.

Love this recipe! It gives me hope. After a couple of tries, I've adjusted the flour mixture to 2 1/3 cups and lowered the baking soda to 1/2 a teaspoon. I also cook them at 350 for 7-9 minutes. They come out fluffier and are still nice and chewy in the middle. I've never had my cookies gobbled up as quickly as these are, even when I was using regular flour.

These are wonderful and delicious, my family doesn't even know they are gluten free!!

This recipe helped ease my children into their diagnosis. Thanks for an easy and yummy recipe!

These cookies were delicious! My husband even liked them better than regular (wheat flour) cookies. Thanks for a great recipe!

Lovely! Recipes like this make being gluten free so much easier. I used a mix of coconut, tapioca, Oak and brown rice flours as I find too much rice flour can make for a gritty or grainy product. The family loves them! Thanks!

This is a GREAT gluten free cookie! I used brown rice flour, arrowroot starch, and corn starch for the flour and a combination of different sweeteners (light brown sugar, turbinado, xylitol, date sugar). I also used dark chocolate chips rather than milk chocolate. And, I used a bit more of the vanilla extract. This is the first gluten free cookie that my son likes!

These cookies were really good. Crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. I used 1 cup sorghum flour and 1 cup white rice flour in place of the 2 cups of brown rice flour. I kept everything else the same and they came out great!

By far the best gluten free chocolate chip recipe. I however left out the baking soda so the cookies didn't spread as much. This way they were thick and moist. Delicious!!

Thank you for the recipe! I only reduced sugar and used 2/3 cup of German Hammermuehle GF mixture (based on corn starch) instead of potato starch, and the cookies turned great! Very simple to make, I just put the ungreased baking paper directly on what do you call it, this grate in the oven, made the piles and no problem whatsoever with removing the cookies when they chilled off a bit. I did refrigerate between the batches, but found no big difference. Happy New Year from Europe to everybody!

Just to add to all the positive comments...this was AMAZING!!!! I even made it dairy free (substituting earth balance butter) and egg free (with Ener-G egg replacer...adding a little extra water for moisture). I was so thrilled to be able to taste real chocolate chip cookies on Christmas this year! Thanks!

These are the best GF chocolate chip cookies I have ever made - from scratch or a pre-made mix. I am so happy with these cookies! I did use the Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Flour Mix and followed instructions on that packaging for how much xanthan gum to add. Also used parchment paper on cookie sheets (after reading previous reviews).
These cookies turned out great. My husband didn't know they were GF - he thought I made a regular batch of Nestle's Toll House!
SO HAPPY!

These are awesome!!! I followed the recipe exactly (notice you need to add xantham gum twice) and they came out delicious. The only variation was that I froze the batter for 1/2 hour prior to baking. I baked them for nine minutes on parchment paper. They rose beautifully!

These cookies have a wonderful taste and texture. Our entire family loved them! Thank you for a wonderful gluten-free recipe!

They have a good flavor, but the texture is not chewy, it is cake like. I was really looking forward to cookies like the good old days of gluten laden food, but these didn;t fit it.

This is a great recipe!! Great texture, great taste, real easy. My whole family loved it, even the gluten ones.

Just wanted to say the recipe worked out pretty well, but be sure to grease the sheet and put the mix in the fridge for 30-45 minutes.

my boyfriend is allergic to gluten and so I have been trying many new recipies and just making things up to make things that we have both always eaten into a gluten free version. so i have tried many many chocolate chip cookie recipies almost all of them have ended up having an awkward flavor and spreading out everywhere. the first batch of these cookies i made spread everywhere as well adn got very brown so the second batch i added another 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum and reduced the cooking time to 7 mins and they turned out great! they didnt not spread as much but they do spread a little, i found that the less spread out the piles of dough are the less they spread out and i used small piles but this recipe is awsome!!!!!

I am so happy that Land O Lakes has posted a gluten free recipe section. I have a cousin who has celiac and it's so nice to see more and more places releasing gluten free information. I always try to make food she can eat when she comes over, as I know it's hard to come to a party and not be able to eat anything. These recipes will help me do that for her!

I made these cookies and they are excellent. They taste just like the non-allergy chocolate chip cookies. To make it easy on myself I used King Arthur's gluten free flour mix instead of mixing it myself. They are so good! This will be my new recipe for cookies when my cousin comes over!

Thank you!

I made the recipe exact except using only 1/2 cup butter. They turned out perfect - best gluten free recipe I have tried to date.

I am so happy to be able to bake again. I thought this might be lost when I could not eat wheat any more. My kids and husband wolfed them down like the olden days. Thank you! Also, in appreciation for you doing these gluten free recipes, I am using your Land O Lakes products in them.

FINALLY!!!!!!! It's been one year since being diagnosed with a gluten allergy. ONE YEAR without homemade chocolate chip cookies. Today, I couldn't stand anymore and had to have a cookie made in my own kitchen. I searched around and found this recipe. I was worried after reading the comments, with all the comments about runny dough. But, 3 dozen cookies later - OH MY GOSH!!!!! HEAVEN!! Thank you so much Land 'O Lakes! I am happily munching on delicious gluten-free homemade chocolate chip cookies that are marvelous. Thank you!

Best Gluten-Free Cookies Ever! I have tried several GF cookie recipes and this one tops them all. The taste ,texture and flavor is just like the real thing. Just use fresh B.soda and B.powder,also real vanilla only the good stuff. Thanks L.O.L These R my new Christmas Gifts.

I have made this recipe so many times and also have left out the dairy. The only thing that I do different is I use Parchment Paper for all my gluten free baking. I don't have to worry about anything sticking, and they always turn out beautifully.

Amazing cookies. Easy to make, easy to find ingredients and great results!!! They don't even taste gluten free!!! I"m waiting to see how long they stay good for.. if they last that long in this house.

I've been craving chocolate chip cookies, and decided to try this recipe. I haven't made GF cookies yet, so this was my first attempt. My first batch spread everywhere and were very brown. For my second batch, I increased the xanthum gum (I added another 1/4 tsp) and reduced the baking time. They started out looking great, but then still spread everywhere by the time they were done. I also forgot to re-grease the cookie sheet the second time, so I am scraping them off the pan. (oops!) They do taste good! I am refrigerating the rest of the dough, as I've heard recommended, so I'll see if that does anything. If not, I'll probably find a different recipe. (I should mention that I am cooking at high altitude - 6500 feet, so I am sure that is making an impact. I didn't see any high altitude alterations, but I'd be interested to see some!)

I'm a personal assistant and the woman I work for has many food allergies. She is also allergic to eggs, so in this recipe I used an egg substitute mixture (1/4 cup milk, 1 tsp oil, 1 tsp baking powder). This recipe called for 2 eggs so I did double that. The cookies turned out amazing! The best she has had and I've been trying many recipes!

This recipe is amazing!!! These cookies taste closer to regular choco chip cookies than any gluten free recipe I've ever tried.

After being diagnosed with Celiac disease, the three things I've missed the most are white sandwich bread, hamburger rolls and chocolate chip cookies. I read all the reviews and I cried. I made them right away and as soon as I tasted the dough, I knew they were going to be great. They are wonderful and the closest thing to the real thing. My family didn't even know they were gluten free! I can't tell you how happy I am to have found this recipe. I did use Better Batter Flour Mix from Whole Foods which is almost the same as the recipe's mix. I also refrigerated the dough as others suggested. They baked perfectly. Thank you Land O'Lakes for giving me back chocolate chip cookies!

So delicious you wouldn't even know they're gluten-free! Better than regular chocolate chip cookies.

As good as a Tollhouse, Nobody could believe it was gluten free

I tried this recipe and it turn out very good. I would recommend it to any one that needs to have a Gluten - free diet.

I've added a few 'wrinkles': flax meal for 1/8 c. 'flour', plus chopped walnuts and cranberries. This time, with 'iffy' results - they flowed out too much - I substituted raw agave syrup for part of the white sugar.

BUT, it's wonderful to be able ot have cookies again [it's been 12 years since I was diagnosed.

These turned out beautifully. I was nervous after reading reviews but I refrigerated the dough before and during batches. My kids are going to be so excited when they come home from school!

These were very nice cookies. Having seen someone complain about sticking, I put cooking spray on the sheet, and they slid right off with out needing a spatula. Why in the world any recipe says non greased cookie sheet is beyond me.I added some oatmeal and it added texture. Will make again.

The recipe is easy to follow and was very delicious. I learned that when baking gluten free it helps to refrigerate the dough for a period of time before trying to bake. I prepared the dough on Sunday, placed in an airtight containter in the fridge, & baked on Monday evening. My co-workers & I devoured them today and we had no clue that they were gluten-free. I used an All-Purpose Gluten Free baking flour from Whole Foods. And following the recipe EXACTLY, I cannot taste the difference. These cookies help me to miss gluten a lot less. Thanks so much!!!

I am steaming hot right now. I followed the recipe as is, except that I used Smart Balance instead of butter. My daughter is GFCF. So, these cookies are melting in the oven and you cannot pry them off of the cookie sheet. I tried again, adding enough flour to make the mixture more cookie battery, and they "melted", too. What I finally wound up doing was dumping it all on a cookie sheet, and when it was "done", I scraped it off and crumbled it. We'll use it on top of yogurt. They taste great...I just don't know what I did wrong.

great medicinal cookies - my piggy of a boyfriend couldn't even tell they were gluten free!!

THis is a great tasting cookie I tried it on my staff and they did not know it was gluten free.

I have to agree with someone else that you can taste the potato starch. I have found that cooking with potato starch at all adds a flavor that has to be countered by something else. I added twice the amount of sugar for both the brown and regular sugar and twice as much vanilla. I also added two tablespoons of organic honey. You can still taste the potato starch flavor, but less so with the extra sugar and vanilla. With the additions I would make it again but otherwise it would not be worth it.

These are awesome! My son was diagnosed with celiac disease a year ago and he was 19 and in college. I have 2 babies at home that will be tested for celiac disease when they turn 2 years old. He missed 4 things desperately pop tarts, pizza, calzones and nestles chocolate chip cookies. I had been searching for a gluten free cookie recipe that tastes like nestles toll house chocolate chip cookies and I FOUND IT!!!!!!!! I have made these cookies several times and I can tell you they go quick by everybody gluten free eaters or not. Friends and family can't tell the difference. They go quick. I have searched and done trial and error with other gluten free cookie recipes and this one IS A HIT! The secret is to follow the recipe exactly the first time you make it so you can get the true feel for them. Then the second time you make them you can play around with it if you want, and see what you like. Like sometimes I add chopped walnuts and at Christmas I played around with it and divided the dough 3 ways and added all different types of things even marshmellows and it turned out like a thin crisp chocolate and marshmellow crisp with nuts. I think making gluten free chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches will be my next venture and I can wrap and freeze them individually. If somebody had a problem with this recipe and it doesn't work out rite then they should try to make them again maybe you miss measured somewhere. Because they are sinfully delicious and just rite chewy just like Nestle toll house cookies! Thank you Land O Lakes for these gluten free cookies. You probably have figured out that people who can't have gluten are so appreciative and desperate of every bit of help they can get because it is so hard to find great tasting flour foods and recipes that are gluten free that don't have an after taste. THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I have quite a bit of experience with gluten-free baking, and this... well, it was awful. The cookies were not chewy, and the potato starch in the flour mix gave them a really off flavor. I would not make these again.

In my oven these were perfect after 9 minutes. My picky kids couldn't tell they didn't have wheat. This recipe is AWESOME!

Excellent texture and flavor from flour blend!! Thank you!

Wonderful recipe. Everyone loves the cookies (even those who don't know the cookies are gluten-free). Be sure to cream the butter really well and add the gluten-free flour slowly beating very well. I do add extra choc chips too.

I added raisins, pecans, and gluten free chocolate chips.
Yummy!

My son absolutely loves these cookies! When we make the recipe, we get 36 cookies which we bake for 12 minutes. They come out perfectly every time. Also, we prefer using dark brown sugar instead of light brown.

Best cookies. Hand down. No one will know they are gluten free. We used Enjoy Life Foods chocolate chips. Don't miss out on this recipe.

These cookies are the best Gluten free cookies, they taste just like chocolate chip cookies that I made before being diagnosed with celiac.

These chewy chocolate chip cookies were awesome! This was the first time I had baked with gluten-free flour. I was afraid they would not taste good but they were great! I doubled the vanilla in the recipe as I usually do when I make chocolate chip cookies. I also had to reduce the bake time to 8-9 minutes.

My daughter is Celiac, I double the batch bake off one batch , roll into logs and wrap to freeze if she wants a treat she can slice and bake, she uses the toaster oven for her 1/2 dozen snack attacks. My husband who is a non celiac wants me to triple the batch, so are never with out.

These are really great - taste just like regular chocolate chip cookies. Even my non-gluten free husband loves these and claims no one could tell the difference. I like to add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra taste and texture. I also like using parchment paper so the cookies never stick to the pan.

I absolutely love chocolate chip cookies and since my fam is trying not to consume a lot of gluten this is a big hit! The first thing my Mom said when she tried one was a unbelieving "gluten-free?" haha...I love it! I love using unsweetened or semi-sweet coarsely chopped baking chocolate along with the chocolate chips...gives variety!! Or nuts or raisins or whatever!Definitely a family favorite!! Thanks!!!
