These gluten-free dairy-free double chocolate cookies are soft, chewy, crackly on the outside and rich in chocolate flavor. Think brownies, but better! This gluten-free dairy-free double chocolate cookie recipe is approachable for bakers of all levels, and the cookies will come out perfectly every time. I love topping these cookies with sea salt and serving them up hot out of the oven with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream. These are one of my favorite cookies to date and I’m sure you’ll think so too!
Tips on how to make this gluten-free dairy-free double chocolate cookie recipe:
- Make sure to chill dough for an hour before baking. This allows the flavors to mingle and for the dry ingredients to absorb moisture from the wet ingredients creating a chewy texture.
- Add the salt to wet ingredients. Most cookie recipes suggest adding the salt to the dry ingredients, but I think adding salt to the wet ingredients better distributes the salt granules. But if you’d rather follow traditional baking protocol and add salt to the dry ingredients, go for it!
- Make sure to mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl. This way the baking powder, baking soda, gluten-free flour, and the cocoa powder are evenly combined before adding to the butter and sugar. (We definitely don’t want any of the cookies to taste like baking powder!)
- Use the flour blend listed in the ingredients list. I swear by Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour (not sponsored) and this recipe has not been tested using other flour blends. (This isn’t to discourage you from experiments, by all means you do you, but I cannot guarantee stellar results.)d
- Use a #50 Cookie Scoop. Personally, I find using a cookie scoop helps make the cookies even in size and speeds up the process.
