Old Fashioned Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

- littleadaptsbyjax@gmail.com

As I mentioned in another post, I recently went through all of my mom’s cookbooks to take my favorite childhood recipes and “little adapt” them. Today’s recipe is my mom’s famous chocolate chip cookies that I used to help her bake every Christmas. I didn’t want to change the recipe too much as the original recipe is amazing and because I wanted them to taste + feel like the real deal — especially if you are leaving them out for Santa! I used a gluten-free flour blend made mostly of brown rice flour for those that are gluten-free and also nut-free (but you can use regular or whole wheat flour if you don’t have a gluten allergy) and switched out sugar and brown sugar for coconut sugar (while also drastically decreasing the amount of sugar!) This recipe does contain eggs, but I will 100% be testing it with flax eggs in the future to make them vegan so stay tuned. Hope you add these to your holiday baking because they are the BEST!

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, sea salt and baking soda. Then set aside for later.

  4. Then slowly start to add the dry mixture to the wet mixture by hand or with a beater.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
  6. Using a tablespoon or ice cream scooper, scoop dough out on baking trays and press flat into a cookie shape.
  7. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes until the cookies start to brown on the edges.
  8. Place them on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Then enjoy!
