Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) gluten-free all-purpose flour (e.g., Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 blend)
  • ½ cup (56g) almond flour
  • ¼ cup (30g) tapioca starch
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the large egg and pure vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.
  10. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to help cookies hold their shape and develop flavor. Avoid overbaking to keep cookies chewy. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter and use dairy-free chocolate chips. For nut-free, replace almond flour with additional gluten-free flour blend but expect slightly less chewiness.
