Classic Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

gluten free chocolate chip cookies

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I love a good chocolate chip cookie. Store-bought gluten-free chocolate chip cookies (let’s be honest, cookies in general,) tend to be small, rock hard, and dry. Recipes from others I’ve tried haven’t really hit the mark due to the weird “gluten-free” aftertaste that usually accompanies rice flour-based blends. This year I decided to give it a go and develop my own recipe. Normally I prefer to stay grain-free but I haven’t had much luck making cookies with almond or coconut flours yet. Since it’s Christmas, and cookie baking is a family tradition I hold dear, I decided to use Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose Flour for this recipe. They turned out FANTASTIC! I’m so very pleased and excited to share this recipe with you.

When I first tasted my creation I thought they were delicious. However, we have been gluten free for 3 years so I wasn’t sure if they were actually good, or good for being gluten free. I want actually good! I had several friends taste test and give me their honest feedback. Had a few friends and family in different areas of the country make them and give me their experience and feedback. The results were unanimous, they’re actually good. YES! Mission: Accomplished.

Your Cookie Recipe

For this recipe you’ll need Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose Flour (I cannot guarantee the quality of other types of gluten free flours), aluminum free baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, butter, white sugar, brown sugar ( I used maple sugar and others used brown, both are great), vanilla extract (a vanilla bean is fine too), large eggs, and enjoy life miniature chocolate chips. Some people like bigger chocolate chips, I prefer my chocolate dispersed throughout my cookies. Pick whatever size chocolate chips that makes you happy.

Preheat your oven to 325. In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon each baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Whisk together to blend well. In a medium sized bowl, add 1/2 cup softened butter, 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/3 cup brown or maple sugar. Using a hand mixer, blend until smooth. Add 1 tsp vanilla and 2 eggs. Blend until smooth again.

Add liquid ingredients to the flour mix and use your hand blender  to blend until thoroughly mixed. Once smooth, fold in chocolate chips. Using a spoon, make 2 inch-ish size flat balls and place on your baking sheet. (I use silicon sheets like these to prevent sticking.) These cookies do spread out the way wheat flour based cookies do, so leave plenty of room. Bake for 12 minutes. They will not turn brown like wheat flour cookies do. Remove from the oven, use a thin spatula to remove from the sheet and place on a cooling rack.

Store in your fridge in an airtight container up to 3 days and can be frozen up to a month. You can also make into balls and freeze the raw dough. Thaw and bake when ready!

    These look great. Can you substitute stevia for the sugar?

      You can but would need to use much less otherwise the stevia will give them a bitter flavor.

    Hi, how about dairy, egg, soy , nut FREE cookies, that taste great – yet don’t cost $3.50 for a dozen teeney, (albeit tasty) cookies? I found Enjoy Life cookies at the market, but it is expensive!!

I have a thing for salads. I love the crunch, the I have a thing for salads. I love the crunch, the sweetness of the tomatoes, the saltiness of the olives, the earthiness of beets, paired with a delicious dressing.

To make the perfect salad at home you need:
✅2 different greens
✅several different veggies in a combination of: earthy, salty, crunchy, and flavorful/bite-y.
✅Protein of choice 
✅ a dressing that has vinegar or citrus juice plus oil and salt to counter the bitterness of the greens

When you have this combo you'll have a restaurant salad at home!

We are having some beautiful winter weather this w We are having some beautiful winter weather this weekend and I'm stoked! Not only do we need the rain and snow (up north), I get to snuggle in and have enjoy comforting soup! 

I like to use bone broth as my base since it's pretty much liquid gold when it comes to health, then load up the herbs for flavor and their medicinal properties, then add veggies, chicken, and sometimes gluten free noodles. My family prefers less veggies and more noodles than I do so I often make two batches. Are you willing to do two batches of a similar meal to make everyone happy?
There comes a time when your patient load is full, There comes a time when your patient load is full, your running a practice full time, and just don't have the time to give to high-need patients that you used to.

Even though you have the coaching skills, there just isn't enough time. You don't have to overwork yourself or tell the patients to read the handouts again. Instead, you have a couple of options to improve patient success rate and their satisfaction with your care.

#1: Partner with a Health Coach. A health coach can be an invaluable asset to complement your practice. A good one can ensure your patients are clear on the why behind the treatment plan and guide them in implementing it successfully into their lives. I've talked with a lot of ND's and I know that there are a lot of coaches out there who just can't coach to the level you need for your patients. Everyone has their specialty and finding a coach that is able to follow your treatment plan correctly is a challenge. We are out there!
#2 Offer an Online Coaching Program. You can develop this yourself or you can become an affiliate to programs. Becoming an affiliate is nice because you don't have to put the hours into creating your own course and you make a supplemental income while providing patients with the support they need.

Having partnered with ND's for over 7 years, I have seen firsthand how beneficial a coach and online coaching programs are to their practices. It gives them more time to be the doctor and business owner while knowing their patients are following the treatment plan and getting better quickly, with less frustration. This past year I created an affiliate program for not only my ND partners but all ND's to be able to share with their patients directly from their websites. Everyone is happy, especially the patients. If you haven't yet, head to the link in my bio to learn more about my Coaching Programs available for your patients!

Quiche's are an easy way to create a breakfast for Quiche's are an easy way to create a breakfast for the week that is sustaining, delicious, and healthy all at the same time.

I like to use sweet potatoes as my crust, then I add in sauteed veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, and garlic with precooked bacon or sausage, and if I'm feeling indulgent, some goat cheese along with salt, pepper, and herbs.

The cheese and sausage help keep the texture from getting dry when reheating. However, you can always top with salsa or avocado to help with that as well. This recipe can be found on my YouTube channel, Thrive Gluten Free.

If you can't wrap your head around it, I have a meal plan and online coaching program that can help give you the jumpstart and tips you need to make it work.

Working from home have you more sedentary than eve Working from home have you more sedentary than ever? You aren't alone!

I'm hearing this from friends and clients alike. They used to get at least 6000 steps in a day and now they are lucky if they get 2000. They are having more hip and back pain too. At the office the bathroom is a lot further away, we had meetings to walk to, lunches, etc. Now literally everything is often on the computer. How does one build movement into your day when there isn't much room to do so? I have a couple of suggestions:

1. Take a 10 minute break every hour or between tasks. Go for a quick walk around your building, do some stretches, go refill your water, do a quick HIIT workout, just get up out of the chair and give your eyes a break. This micro breaks will not only improve your physical wellness, they actually help you be more productive too!
2. Workout during what would have been your commute time. There are a lot of free and paid workout programs out there that are 10-60 minutes long. Replace your would be commute with a workout. There's no reason not to!

These are my suggestions. What have you been doing to include movement into your days?
Spaghetti squash is a great low calorie and nutrie Spaghetti squash is a great low calorie and nutrient dense pasta replacement. It does have a different, sweet flavor that I prefer to pair with a mild spicy sausage or spicy marinara sauce versus pesto or other sweeter sauce.

This quick dinner is just a couple of chicken or pork sausage cooked in the pot with olive oil and garlic, then add in kale and basil leaves plus a couple of cups of cooked and shredded spaghetti squash topped with salt to taste. It's a regular during the fall and winter months.
