Gluten-Free Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies
There’s something undeniably nostalgic about a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie—especially one that doesn’t leave you feeling sluggish or weighed down. These gluten-free soft chocolate chip cookies are everything you want in a classic treat: soft, slightly chewy, and studded with rich dark chocolate chips. But unlike many store-bought or bakery options, these are made with simple, better-for-you ingredients.
They’ve quickly become a reader favorite on my site, and for good reason. Whether you’re gluten-free by necessity or by choice—or just looking to make healthier swaps without sacrificing flavor—this recipe fits the bill. I often tell people, “You’d never know these were gluten-free.” That’s how good they are. In fact, I mention this right on the recipe page, because it’s worth repeating!
Made with almond flour, coconut oil, and just a touch of maple syrup, these cookies bring all the warm, buttery flavor of traditional chocolate chip cookies but without the refined sugar, dairy, or gluten. And because they’re made with whole-food ingredients, you can feel better about grabbing one (or two) to enjoy with your afternoon tea or evening wind-down.
