GF Café Style Chocolate Chip Cookies (Recipe)

$5.00

This professionally developed gluten-free cookie recipe was formulated for bakers seeking chewy, classic (not too thin not too thick), golden cookies with a soft center and crisp edges—without relying on gluten-free flour blends or shortcuts.

They specifically requested that the cookie base itself shine—rather than being overloaded with chocolate. While many gluten-free chocolate chip cookies rely on excess chocolate to mask a dry or bland base, this recipe was intentionally built to stand on its own in flavor, texture, and richness. They will also be garnishing with flaky sea salt. If you’d like to increase salt in the base, do not exceed 4-5g. Keep as is if you want to garnish with salt.

The result is a balanced, indulgent cookie where:

  • The chocolate complements the dough rather than overpowering it

  • The buttery, slightly nutty oat flour base comes through

  • Each bite offers structure and flavor—not just melted chocolate

Developed specifically for a small business/cafe, this formula was built from the ground up using a strategic blend of gluten-free flours and stabilizers. It features oat flour, superfine white rice flour, and potato starch to mimic the texture of wheat-based cookies, along with egg white protein to support structure and moisture retention.
