If you love chocolate, these gluten free double chocolate chip cookies are the perfect treat for you. Made with a rich cocoa cookie dough and plenty of chocolate chips, these homemade gluten free cookies are deliciously chocolatey without being complicated to make.

These gluten free chocolate cookies are made with gluten free self-raising flour and are suitable for people with coeliac disease as long as you choose chocolate chips that don't carry a may contain warning (I use Tesco's). The chocolate chips add plenty of extra chocolate throughout the cookies, making them a great option when you're craving something sweet.

With just a handful of everyday ingredients, these gluten free double chocolate chip cookies are easy to make at home. The dough comes together in one pan and bowl before being divided into individual cookies and baked until crisp.

If you want to make them dairy free, while I haven't tested if it works, you could try using dairy free butter alterative such as Flora Plant Based and dairy free chocolate chips (which can be found in Sainsburys or can chop up other dairy free chocolate).

Here are some tips and FAQs about Gluten Free Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yes, all my recipes are suitable for Coeliacs as long as you double check all the ingredients are safe.

The recipe was developed using gluten free self raising flour, so I would recommend sticking with this rather than swapping to gluten free plain flour unless you also adjust the raising agent.

Gluten free baking can have a different texture to conventional baking because there is no gluten to provide structure. Using the correct gluten free flour blend and allowing the cookies to cool before moving them can help them hold together.

Yes. The baked cookies can be frozen once completely cool. You can also freeze portions of the cookie dough and bake them later.

While I haven't developed the recipe with dairy free ingredients, it should work by switching to dairy free butter alternative and dairy free chocolate chips or chopped dairy free chocolate.

Method

  1. Place the butter in a saucepan and put on a low heat until just melted.

  2. Add caster sugar and golden syrup to the pan until all combined and butter and sugar are fully melted.

  3. Leave the butter mix to cool, it can still be warm to touch but we don't want it too hot as it will cook the egg.

  4. While the egg is cooling, mix the gluten free self raising flour and cocoa powder together in a bowl, to get the best result, sieve it so you don't get flour lumps.

  5. Once the butter has cooled sufficiently add both that and the egg to the gluten free flour and cocoa powder, use a wooden spoon to bring it all together into a dough. Throw in the chocolate chips and give it another good mix to stir them all through.

  6. Take walnut size pieces of the gluten free cookie dough and press them onto a baking tray lined with parchment. You can get about 6 on a standard tray as spread slightly so need to be a good couple of inches apart.

  7. Place them in an oven preheated to gas mark 4/180c and baked your gluten free cookies for 20-25 mins. Allow to cool on the tray before serving.
