Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

These chewy, gluten free chocolate cookies are one of my favorite recipes of all time! I may even like them better than classic chocolate chip cookies.


Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time12 minutes
Total Time27 minutes
Yield12 cookies

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 c almond butter (well-stirred)
  • 1/4 c apple sauce (room temperature)
  • 1/2 c olive oil
  • 1/2 c white sugar
  • 2/3 c brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 c gluten free flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 c chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix the almond butter, applesauce, and olive oil together until creamy.
  • Add in both sugars and mix again until incorporated.
  • Sift in the flour, and mix it gently until the dough starts to form. The dough will be thick!
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Scoop the dough onto the baking sheets with a 2 tbsp cookie scoop. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cookies are slightly browned. The cookies may not have spread much while baking.
  • As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, bang the baking sheet on the counter a few times to help the cookies spread in the center. I do this about 10 times, turning the baking sheet as I go.
  • Allow cookies to cool before enjoying!
