Vegan Gluten-Free Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
These tender, perfectly chewy cookies are intensely chocolate. You can use a store-bought gluten-free flour blend, but results might vary. Make sure to check if your flour blend already contains gum - you might want to adjust or omit the gum from the recipe if so.

Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups Basic Gluten-Free Flour Blend
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup canola oil (or other neutral baking oil)
- ⅓ cup plain rice milk (or milk beverage of choice)
- ⅔ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup Enjoy Life ricemilk chocolate bars, chopped into chunks (about 4 [1.4-ounce] bars), or 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour mix, cocoa powder, cream of tartar, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly mixes and all clumps of cocoa are broken up.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the oil and milk alternative on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add the sugar and vanilla, and mix for 20 seconds.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in your mixing bowl. Mix on low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Fold in the chocolate chunks or chocolate chips.
- Scoop out the dough by the heaping tablespoonful and place on the baking sheets, 12 per sheet. Wet your hands with a little water and roll the dough into balls, moistening your hands again as necessary.
- Bake the cookies in the center of the oven for 12 minutes, until just set. Do not overcook, as chocolate burns easily. You want the inside to remain chewy, not dry.
- Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to a cooling rack. They will firm up more as they cool.
