Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies {Gluten & Dairy Free}

I made a batch of these super late while working one evening. In the morning, my husband brought a cookie upstairs to me and incredulously stated “these are gluten-free?!?”. When I went downstairs later that morning, I found that the entire container of cookies was gone. I guess they make a good breakfast?

I developed this recipe while trying to develop a paleo recipe for another site. Now, this is not paleo, as it contains cornstarch, but it is gluten free and dairy free. I used coconut palm sugar and honey to sweeten it and the coconut palm sugar really makes these cookies. It allows the cookies to spread to just the right thickness and gives it that slightly chewy quality, which I find absolutely necessary in a chocolate chip cookie. If you haven’t given Coconut Sugar
a try yet, I really recommend you do. It has some similarity to brown sugar, but is better for you.

This is a weird confession, but these cookies are the first time I have ever baked with chocolate chunks. I don’t know why. I like chocolate chunks. I think I like them better than chocolate chips. But either one is good in this recipe.

Because these cookies are gluten free, they will not hold together as firmly as their gluten-containing counterparts. So handle with care 😉

    I’ve never used coconut sugar but I’ll definitely have to give it a try! These cookies look fantastic. My boys would love them and I love that they’re better for you. Pinned!

      Thanks Jen! I hope you get to try them out! The coconut palm sugar is a nice alternative to brown sugar but it seems to be hiding under a rock =)
