    Gluten-Free Chocolate Cookies (grain-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free options)

    Published Dec 3, 2020

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    These gluten-free chocolate cookies (aka gluten-free brownie cookies / gluten-free double chocolate cookies) are like brownies in cookie form: fudgy, chewy, and perfectly crackly on top. With just 6 main ingredients, they're easy to whip up and even easier to eat. And they make killer ice cream sandwiches too.

    Thanks to Vermont Creamery for sponsoring this post! 

    gluten-free chocolate cookies on a baking sheet

    These cookies go by many names: gluten-free double chocolate cookies, gluten-free chocolate chocolate chip cookies, chocolate brownie cookies, fudge brownie cookies, mudslide cookies... the list goes on! When I first published this recipe in 2012, I called them "über chocolate cookies" since they contained unsweetened and bittersweet chocolate as well as cacao nibs. All the chocolate!

    These were the days before Über became synonymous with tech bros and predatory capitalism. It was also the days before I knew how to make my recipes findable on the internet. Thus my post was just a series of haiku along with some process images. Simpler times!

    I wanted to give this favorite GF chocolate cookie recipe a fresh look and show off my favorite butter while I was at it. But don't worry – I've left the haiku and an original photo below the recipe for posterity!

    My Best Gluten-Free Chocolate Cookies: years in the making

    This gluten-free brownie cookie recipe has become quite dear to me over the years. I first found the base recipe in 2005 in an issue of Cook's Country, the sister publication to Cook's Illustrated and America's Test Kitchen. Whipped eggs and sugar created an airy base for unsweetened and bittersweet chocolates melted with butter. Vanilla and espresso powder added depth, and chocolate chips folded in melted into gooey pockets.

    I brought this recipe to an organic bakery that I worked at circa 2006, and made a big batch every week. I developed a gluten-free version, shared here in 2012, and proceeded to bake gluten-free chocolate cookies at summer music camps. The scent of baking brownie cookies would permeate the kitchen each night, beckoning campers to the kitchen with its siren song.

    I streamlined the recipe and swapped in buckwheat flour and turned them into cherry ice cream sandwiches. I published the recipe, with optional citrus zest, in my cookbook Alternative Baker. There it became the most-made recipe in the entire book, baked by many of my baking heroes on the internet and beyond. They are really the perfect chocolate brownie cookie!

    Looking at all of these beautiful wheat-free chocolate cookies made me itch to revisit to the recipe that started it all. So now I present to you the ultimate gluten-free brownie cookie!

    ingredients for gluten-free chocolate cookie recipe

    Ingredients & Substitution Suggestions

    • This recipe is all about the chocolate, so use one that you love the taste of. Guittard and Valrhona 66% both work beautifully. Note that if you use a chocolate with a lower cacao mass the cookies will be more thin, whereas a higher cacao mass will yield cookies that spread less.
    • Whipped eggs create a lofty base, giving the cookies the texture of flourless chocolate cake and keeping them from tasting overly dense. I wouldn't recommend subbing out the eggs here. But if you're looking for an eggless version, try these vegan double chocolate cookies instead.
    • Melted butter adds richness. My favorite butter comes from Vermont Creamery, a certified B-corp that I had the pleasure of visiting a few years ago. Vermont Creamery butter tastes fresh and clean, with extra lactic flavor from the culturing process. It gives these cookies a melt in your mouth texture. (And if you wanted to brown the butter with a vanilla bean, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt.)
    • Sugar adds sweetness and helps aerate the eggs. I use organic granulated sugar, which is more coarse than refined white sugar and retains a bit of molasses for a golden hue and warm flavor. For those avoiding unrefined sugar, try this with coconut or maple sugar instead.
    • Flour binds the ingredients together. The cookies shown here are made with cassava and tapioca flour for grain-free chocolate cookies.  I've made versions with sweet rice flour, cassava flour, and buckwheat flour, all with a bit of tapioca flour to add chew. The dough is so full of sticky ingredients, you can use just about any flour you like, substituted by weight. An all-purpose flour (gluten-free, paleo, or wheat) would work great too.
    • Baking powder adds extra lift.
    • Fine salt sharpens the flavors of the batter and flaky salt adds addictive crunch to the tops.

    Gluten-Free Brownie Cookies / Fudge Brownie Cookies

    These easy gluten-free chocolate cookies are basically brownies in cookie form. The batter uses the same method as my favorite gluten-free brownie recipe. They're rich and fudgy, a little bit chewy and very, very chocolatey.

    Allergy-Friendly Options:

    These gluten-free brownie cookies can accommodate a wide range of dietary preferences.

    Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Chocolate Cookies

    Swap the butter out for plant-based butter such as Miyoko's and decrease the salt by half if the butter is salty.

    Grain-Free Cookies

    Use cassava and tapioca flours.

    Paleo Cookies

    Make the grain-free version and use coconut or maple sugar instead of granulated.

    Flavor Options:

    These fudge brownie cookies take well to flavor variations. Here are a few favorites that I've tested!

    Chocolate Peppermint Cookies / Candy Cane Cookies

    Add peppermint extract to the batter and sprinkle chopped candy cane on top instead of flaky salt. Optionally use chopped chocolate bark instead of chopped chocolate or chocolate chips.

    Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies

    Add cinnamon and cayenne to the dough for a spicy kick.

    Chocolate Bergamot Cookies / Chocolate Orange Cookies

    Add finely grated citrus zest to the batter along with the butter.

    Espresso Chocolate Cookies

    Add instant espresso powder along with the vanilla extract.

    Make-Ahead Cookies

    I always bake these cookies off right away, but readers have had success making the batter ahead and refrigerating it until ready to bake, up to a few days.

    Freezing Cookies:

    Freeze extra cookie dough and when you're ready to bake, thaw the batter in the fridge or at room temperature until it's soft enough to scoop. Scoop and bake as directed.

    Baked cookies can also be frozen. Warm them in a toaster oven when you're ready to eat cookies.

    Easy Gluten-Free Chocolate Cookies for Everyone

    Bite into one of these pillows of choco-love straight from the oven and you're met with the earthy tastes of chocolate and vanilla enhanced with just enough salt to keep things interesting. These heavenly flavors are all wrapped up in a crackly cocoa cookie studded with gooey pockets of dark chocolate.

    With options for every dietary preference, you can share these gluten-free chocolate cookies with everyone. Be sure to have a glass of milk or plant milk at the ready to wash down these rich little cookies.

    Gluten-Free Chocolate Brownie Cookies

    These gluten-free chocolate cookies are like brownies in cookie form: packed with chocolate, butter, and bound with just a touch of gluten-free flour. Easy to whip up and even easier to eat!
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 20 minutes
    Cook Time: 12 minutes
    Total: 32 minutes
    Servings: 20 cookies

    Ingredients

    • 10 ounces (285 g) coarsely chopped bittersweet chocolate or chocolate chips, divided use (60-70% cacao mass)
    • 6 tablespoons (85 g) Vermont Creamery cultured unsalted butter (or plant butter for dairy-free)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
    • ½ cup + 2 tablespoons (125 g) organic granulated sugar (or try coconut sugar)
    • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt (decrease if using salted butter)
    • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons (55 g) flour (cassava, sweet rice, buckwheat, or GF AP flour)
    • 2 tablespoons (15 g) tapioca flour (or try arrowroot)
    • ¾ teaspoon GF baking powder
    • flaky salt such as Maldon, for sprinkling

    Instructions

    • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350º. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
    • Place the butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan set over the lowest possible heat. Add 6 ounces (170 g / 1 cup) of the chocolate and melt together, stirring frequently to prevent the chocolate from scorching. Continue cooking until the mixture is pleasantly warm, but not super hot, to the touch. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
    • In a small bowl, sift together the flour, tapioca flour, and baking powder and set aside.
    • Meanwhile, place the eggs, sugar, and fine salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip on medium-high speed until the mixture triples in volume and is very light and fluffy, 5 minutes. (You can also do this in a large bowl with an electric egg beater, or a whisk and your buff arms.)
    • Turn the mixer to low and stir in the vanilla until just combined, then the warm (but not too hot!) chocolate/butter mixture.
    • Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a flexible silicone spatula to fold in the remaining 4 ounces (115 g / 3/4 cup) chopped chocolate.
    • If the batter is very runny, let it cool for a few minutes until it firms to the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Use a #40 spring-loaded ice cream scoop or 2 spoons to drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Top each cookie with a few chunks of chocolate and a pinch of flaky salt.
    • Bake the cookies until puffed and cracked and the edges are set, 8–12 minutes, rotating the pans front to back and top to bottom halfway through baking. Let cool slightly and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
    • Extra cookies keep well in an air-tight container for up to 4 days.

    Notes

    • The key to getting the pretty crackles on top is making sure the chocolate/butter mixture is warm enough to partially dissolve the sugar, but not so hot as to cook the eggs. It should feel pleasantly warm to the touch, like you could take a bath in it, but not hot enough to scald your finger. 
    • This recipe is all about the chocolate, so use one that you love the taste of. Guittard and Valrhona 66% both work beautifully. Note that if you use a chocolate with a lower cacao mass the cookies will be more thin, whereas a higher cacao mass will yield cookies that spread less.
    Make-Ahead:
    • Chilling cookie dough: I always bake these cookies off right away, but readers have had success making the batter ahead and refrigerating it until ready to bake, up to a few days.
    • Freezing Cookies: Freeze extra cookie dough and when you're ready to bake, thaw the batter in the fridge or at room temperature until it's soft enough to scoop. Scoop and bake as directed.

    • Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Cookies: Swap the butter out for plant-based butter such as Miyoko's and decrease the salt by half if the butter is salty. 
    • Grain-Free Cookies: Use cassava and tapioca flours.
    • Paleo Cookies: Make the grain-free version and use coconut or maple sugar instead of granulated. 
    Flavor Options:
    • Chocolate Peppermint Cookies / Candy Cane Cookies: Add 1/2-3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract to the batter and sprinkle chopped candy cane on top instead of flaky salt. Optionally use chopped chocolate bark instead of chopped chocolate to fold into the batter, or swap in some chopped white chocolate. 
    • Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies: Add cinnamon and cayenne to the dough for a spicy kick.
    • Chocolate Bergamot Cookies / Chocolate Orange Cookies: Add finely grated citrus zest to the batter along with the butter.
    • Espresso Chocolate Cookies: Add instant espresso powder along with the vanilla extract. 
    • Cacao Nib: Add 2 tablespoons cacao nibs to the batter along with the chopped chocolate.
    Skillet Brownies:
    Spread the batter in a buttered 8-inch ovenproof skillet (well-seasoned cast iron works well). Bake at 350ºF until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs, 20-30 minutes. You can leave it gooier if you prefer! Scoop into bowls and serve warm topped with ice cream.

        Hi! I haven't tried as much, but I'm guessing that a GF all-purpose blend would work out fine; worst-case scenario is that the cookies will be more delicate. If you can substitute by weight, this will give you a better chance for success, since flours can vary in weight. Please come back and let us know how it works out.

        Good call! 1/4-1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum should help, if you've got it. Though it might not be necessary, it probably won't hurt.

      Thank you so much for this recipe! I have a choco-holic, gluten free dad who loves these cookies!
      I accidentally used Pamela's Gluten Free Bread Mix and then I had to substitute brewed espresso for the instant powder but the cookies still taste amazing and look exactly like the picture.

        PS I made these with all coconut sugar and noticed they did not crackle on top during baking so I slightly overcooked the first batch waiting for that to happen. The 2nd batch was about 11 minutes baking time and they were just right to me.

I LOVE everything about how you bake, your recipes are wonderful, your writing is a joy to read and your photography is especially beautiful. I think the following songs sums it up pretty well:

      Ok so I was meeting my girlfriends parents properly for the first time and her mom cannot eat gluten. And I’ve never really seriously cooked with gluten-free flower before. And so in my scramble to find something that I could “attempt” to impress them with i trued this. HOLY CRAP they are good! I don’t know if it’s the long whisking of the sugar egg mixture or the ratios used but absolutely would 10/10 recommend, even if you can eat gluten! These are legitimately some of the best cookies I have ever made and they helped me set a good example during a key moment in my life :)

      Hi Alanna,

      I am such a fan of your work! Truly amazing and non-fail recipes for gluten intolerant folks like myself.
      I have made these cookies several times and followed the recipe to a T but they never crack and instead seem to have lots of air bubble holes in them. The family doesn’t mind coz they are delicious all the same and hardly last long but any ideas as to what I’m doing incorrectly as I’d love to get them to look as gorgeous as yours do.

      Thanks for all ur hard work😍

        Hi Neecie! I'm so glad you're enjoying my recipes and that these cookies are a hit despite being aesthetically challenged! What you're describing is odd! There are so many variables, but I'm happy to troubleshoot.

        Since I give some different options, which sugar and flours are you using?
        What kind of chocolate are you using?
        Are you using weights or volume to measure?
        Does the batter look like the pictures?
        Is your oven properly calibrated and do you have an oven thermometer in there?

        Let me know the answers and we'll go from there! :)

      HI I tried to make these with gluten free flour and still added the tapioca flour and then used coconut sugar .and the batch is so runny I'm going to try to put them in the fridge and hope they firm up enough to scoop them if not help pls.

        Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that those substitutions together didn't work great. I wonder if the coconut sugar didn't fluff up the eggs as much as regular sugar would? Did the batter look similar to the photos and did you whip it for as long as the recipe called for? Which GF flour did you use and did you measure by weight or volume?

        Chilling the batter was a good call! I bet you could pour the batter into a lined 8x8" pan and make it into brownies, that way you wouldn't have to worry about spreading.

        If you want cookies, I would bake off a single test cookie and if it spreads too much, add another tablespoon or two of GF flour and/or cocoa powder if you have some, then bake off another test cookie and repeat until you get a good amount of spread.

        Please let me know how it goes!

      Do you have any suggestions for dairy free butter alternatives?

      Also - my daughter is intolerant to egg yolks. We typically use either double the amount of eggwhites or we use 1 eggwhite plus a tablespoon of oil. It depends on the recipe and if it’s more important to have a binder or a fat substitute. Any recommendations before we dive in? Thanks so much!

        Love these questions!

        I like Miyoko's cultured vegan butter best for a sub but there are lots of good brands now like Melt and Forager. If you use one with salt, just be sure to adjust the salt in the recipe (either cut it in half or omit it).

        For the eggs, I'd guess that an extra egg white will give the cookies a better texture but I'm not positive about that. Please let me know what you try!

      I just made these and they're delicious! I recently switched over to eating gluten free. This was my first time trying out a gluten free cookie recipe and it far exceeded my expectations! Thank you :)

        I'm so glad you liked the recipe! This is a great one to start with since they're mostly chocolate, eggs, and butter with just a touch of flour to hold them together. Best of luck on your GF journey, and please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!

    The calendar might say “spring” but Mother Nat The calendar might say “spring” but Mother Nature seems to be saying “stay the heck inside and bake blondies!” 

It's pouring again here in NorCal and I'm grateful to be able to stay inside baking today. Hope everyone's staying safe and dry out there too. 

These gluten-free blondies are made with oat flour, sweet rice flour, and tapioca flour for a chewy, tender texture. Easy to make from start to finish in under an hour and perfect for mid-week chocolate cravings. 

Loaded with chocolate and nuts if you like (we like nuts here at TBG but they’re optional.) I’ve tested these with both melted butter and with oil (shown here) so they can easily be dairy-free as well.

    Is quiche pie? I hope so because it's #piday and Is quiche pie? 

I hope so because it's #piday and I'm sharing this cheesy spinach & leek quiche in a flaky gluten-free crust! 

The trick to getting a crisp crust is 
1. parbake the crust before adding the filling
2. brush the crust with egg white – this creates a barrier between the crisp crust and custardy filling
3. bake on the lower rack of the oven (preferably on a pizza stone if you've got one)

You'll get a golden, crisp bottom crust that keeps well for a couple of days in the fridge.

    Next up for #piday: luscious GF & vegan chocolate Next up for #piday: luscious GF & vegan chocolate pie! 🍫

This recipe starts with a GF graham cracker crust (bonus points if you make it with my GF teff grahams!) 

Next add a creamy chocolate filling made in a blender with peanut butter (or cashew butter, almond butter, hazelnut butter, or tahini) 

Pipe the top with cashew cream and shower with chocolate shavings and graham crumbles.

    Counting down to #piday (3.14) with this GF & vega Counting down to #piday (3.14) with this GF & vegan key lime number. 💚

This no-bake pie tastes so fresh and bright. There's a toasty crust laced with cinnamon, coconut, and macadamia nuts. The creamy cashew filling is toe-curlingly tangy and just sweet enough. 

Both components are made in a blender with just a few minutes of active time and the pie keeps like a dream for days.

    Twas a good week for cookies - but not much else! Twas a good week for cookies - but not much else! 

I had a pinched nerve in my ribs which felt like being stabbed in the side with a knife - so painful! This was probably caused by some overzealous (on my part) chiropractic work that had unintended consequences. 

Thank goodness for muscle relaxants and non-force chiros, I'm feeling much better after a very painful ~10 days! 

In other news, COOKIES. These oatmeal teff chocolate chip cookies were a late addition to my book, and I shared them on TBG 7 (!) years ago. 

I've been craving these cookies lately and wanted to see if they could be made refined sugar-free with coconut sugar (they can!) and I made some updates to the post body as well. 

Love love love the butterscotchy flavor of teff here, which pairs beautifully with chewy oats, toasty walnuts, and bittersweet chocolate. When perfectly underbaked, these stay moist and chewy for days. Or chill the dough balls and bake them off to order for warm, fresh cookies every day. Bojon appétit!
