The Best Small Batch Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

The Best Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies have emerged in a small batch and quick simple recipe!

These cookies require only 1 type of flour (that’s right you don’t need 3 for this recipe!) and can be whipped up in less than an hour with prep and freeze time!

We’ve all been there, you have a craving for a few warm sweet and salty cookies, but lack the desire to make a whole batch. Recently, I’ve really been into baking more small-batch or single-serve desserts (like my Gallete for one). Something about the variety of a different treat every day has a certain appeal that tends to beat out normal batch-style recipes as of late.

What You Need To Make These Gluten Free Fudgy Brownies:

• All Purpose Gluten free flour (I used King Arthur’s as Xanthan gum is already in it)
• Baking soda
• Butter (salted or unsalted, I used Earth Balance’s dairy free butter as that’s what I had on hand)
• Light brown sugar
• Cane sugar
• Egg yolk
• Butter
• Your Favorite Chocolate bar (I used Lilly’s Salted Caramel Chocolate Bar)
• Sea Salt
• Vanilla extract

The Importance of freezing the dough

As with many Gluten-Free recipes, it is essential that you freeze the dough for at least 30 minutes. By freezing the dough it limits the spread of the cookie to the ideal-typical cookie size we all know.

The perfect sweet and salty small-batch gluten-free cookies!

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp All-purpose gluten-free flour (I used King Arthur’s)
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• Heaping 1/4 tsp of sea salt
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
• 2 Tbsps of cane sugar/granulated sugar
• 1 room-temperature egg yolk beaten 
• 1/4 cup unsalted softened butter
• Heaping 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup of your favorite chocolate bar cut into chunks ( I used this one by Lilly’s to add a hint of salted caramel flavor to the mix)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Once complete, set aside
2. Add the sugars and softened butter in a medium-sized bowl, and mix them until they are fully combined. This will take about 2-3 minutes to mix by hand.
3. Add the beaten egg yolk, vanilla extract and salt to the medium-sized bowl until the dough has been fully combined.
4. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the chocolate chunks into the mixing bowl and stir until combined. Be sure to scrape the sides and that no clumps of flour are present.
5. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
6. Store the cookie dough in the freezer for 30-35 minutes.
7. Take out of the freezer and let the cookies sit out for 5 minutes. Then, using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough room for the cookies to spread. you don’t need to flatten these cookies so the scooped form is ideal.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes. If you prefer these cookies slightly under-baked I recommend the shorter end.
9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them to cool on the baking sheet for 6-7 minutes. Then, transfer the cookies to a cooling rack for an additional 10 minutes and enjoy!
10. You can enjoy these cookies for up to 5 days if stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
