Double Chocolate Gluten Free Cookies!

Soft & double chocolate gluten free cookies that are perfect for a treat – best of all, you won’t even realise they are gluten free!
Double chocolate gluten free cookies!
I have created many a cookie recipe, many chocolate recipes, and just… loads of recipes – however, only two gluten free recipes! This I felt was unfair, so I created these beauties! (However, it is again, chocolatey…my bad!)
This is genuinely one of my favourite cookie recipes, even though its gluten free. They are the perfect texture for me to be chocolatey & gooey, but the perfect cakeyness!
Gluten free experimentation
I have experimented with other gluten free cookie recipes in the past, and I will probably be posting another one soon using almonds for example, but with this one I wanted to demonstrate that gluten free flour is definitely a good thing!
Obviously however, textures and such are different when there is no gluten in a recipe – some it doesn’t matter at all, but sometimes it can make a different with things such as cookies.
Double check everything!
I don’t mind the difference, such as how these are slightly more cakey – but that’s perfectly delicious to me! If you are gluten free, ensure to double check everything!
I’m sure you already know this, but just double check that your baking powder and such are also gluten free as some apparently are not!
More gluten free recipes
I love these, so I know you will too! And if you are GF, I hope you approve!! I mean come on, just how chocolatey and yum do they look! Heaven!
You can find a recipe for gluten free chocolate chip cookies here if you would prefer those over double chocolate, or if gluten free is for you but cookies aren’t – check out my recipes for gluten free vanilla cupcakes and gluten free carrot cake – delicious!
Double Chocolate Gluten Free Cookies!
Ingredients
- 125 g unsalted butter
- 200 g light brown sugar
- 1 medium egg
- 250 g gluten free plain flour
- 35 g cocoa powder
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200 g chocolate chips I used white ones!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180ºC/170ºC fan
- Line 2-3 baking trays with parchment paper
- Cream together your unsalted butter and light brown sugar until light and fluffy (I use an electric stand mixer with the paddle attachment to make this all easier)
- Once the unsalted butter/light brown sugar mix is combined, start gradually adding the egg to the mix whilst still beating and continue until all is incorporated
- Sift in the gluten free plain flour, cocoa powder, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and vanilla extract into the mixture and beat again - should make a nice dark but smooth cookie dough!
- Mix in the chocolate chips and then spoon onto the baking trays either using a tablespoon, or a cookie scoop! (I do 6 per tray so they don't spread and touch)
- Bake in the oven for 11-12 minutes until cooked through! They should rise slightly when baking!
- Leave to cool on a wire rack and then devour them all yourself
- ENJOY!
Notes
- You can obviously use the same recipe to make normal cookies, but I like these as the gluten free ones!
- Gluten free plain flour can be found in most stores, sometimes not in the baking isle but in the 'Free From' section!
- These will last in an airtight container for 4-5 days if they last that long!
- The old recipe is - 100g unsalted butter, 200g light brown sugar, 2 medium eggs, 250g gluten free plain flour, 35g cocoa powder, 1 tsp bicarb, 1 tsp baking powder, 250g chocolate chips
ENJOY!

Hi Jane.
I’m hoping to make these for my nephew can I ask what baking powder you use please? It’s a boy of a mind field as some contain gluten? I know bi carb is gluten free but not sure about the baking powders. Thank you for your help. Manda xxx
Hi would I be able to use this recipe to make a giant cookie cake?
I made a low carb version of these and filled with a teaspoon of your pistachio cream (in the spirit of your almond croissant cookies) and they are amazing! Thank you for your recipe/s ❤️
Hi,
I wonder if I could substitute plain flour for self raising. I have gluten free self raising at home. What is your advice?
I have made these before and LOVE them. With any of your cookie recipes, am I able to roll them out and use a cookie cutter?
Hiya! if the cookie recipe can suit a cutter, the recipe will involve it – these sort of cookies will spread too much x
Please do some more gluten free recipes!!! Just found out I have to go gluten free, and am missing your bakes enormously!! Thank you
These went down a hit with gluten free person loved them , only one issue said too much sugar ,therefore does anyone know if I halved sugar ie 100 grams would they still be ok?
Thank you Jane for fab recipe as he misses out on so many goodies 👏👏🤩
Made these this evening as I’ve been feeling deprived of treats after being told by my Dr to go wheat free! Thank you so much for this recipe! I froze all but 3 so I can restrain myself…and I ate all 3! So it’s just aswell I only cooked 3 🙊
Mine came out with more of a cake texture inside – is that wrong? 🤣
Hey, you may need to bake it for slightly longer for a crunchier texture x
Hello!
I’ve got an order for gluten & dairy free cookies and I found these and they look amazing. Do you think it is okay to substitute the butter and chocolate with dairy free options? I’m sure it is possible I just want to make sure I’ll do it well and it won’t turn out bad! Thank you so much in advance.
Hiya, unfortunately I have not tried this but it is definitely worth a go xx
These taste fantastic Jane! I was just wondering how I could get the nutritional info as my son is type one diabetic and carb counts. Any help would be greatly appreciated ty x
Hi Jane, loved your NYC cookies and going to try these. Can they be frozen before baking like the NYC ones, and cooked at a later date?
Hello! I’m sure you can but I always try to bake these ones straight away xx
In case anyone else is interested I did try freezing the cookie dough with these and reheating from frozen, and they came out perfect! They don’t form into round balls like the regular nyc ones do, they’re more like a sploge of cookie dough. I froze them for an hour on a baking tray first before putting them into Tupperware separated by grease proof paper and put the Tupperware in the freezer. I cook them from frozen, as and when we want to eat one, and they come out perfect.
