We had a virtual book club this week (yay, Zoom!) so, of course, we were discussing all the things not book related – like Tiger King, easy bread recipes, and Joanna Gaines’ chocolate chip cookies. My kids and I are huge Chip and Joanna fans so I knew they would want to try to recreate her chocolate chip cookies as a gluten-free version. Friends, these cookies are so good! Jump to Recipe
The boys even made a video to show you how easy it is to make these cookies. Jump to Video
These cookies are such a light color – probably because they are made with two cups of light brown sugar. Two cups! Amazing. The rest of the ingredients are relatively similar to a standard chocolate chip cookie recipe – a little more flour, no white sugar.
How To Make Joanna Gaines’ Chocolate Chip Cookie Gluten-Free
We used Cup4Cup gluten-free flour to make these gluten-free. They were so easy to make. They even looked pretty enough to photograph.
We started with 2 1/2 cups of GF flour and added 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
In a stand mixer, the boys combined 2 cups of light brown sugar with 1 stick of butter until the batter was light and fluffy. Then they added 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
After those ingredients were mixed together, they added the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and then added the chocolate chips.
We love to bake on a silpat liner. I think cookies cook so nicely on the liner. We baked ours for 10 to 11 minutes at 350. That’s it. So easy!

These look wonderful. Is there any particular gluten free flour you use? Does it contain xanthan gum?
Hi! There are a few different GF flours I use and they all have xantham gum in them. I love King Arthur GF Flour and Cup4Cup – possibly because those are the easiest for me to get my hands on!
Yummy! So so good! And don’t taste like cardboard like some gf recipes. BTW we use King Arthur gf flour. And it works well in our recipes.
Thank you!! We are such big fans of King Arthur flour here, too. It is pretty easy for us to get it at our local stores.
I’ve heard about these viral cookies, and I’ve been wanting to try them, but why not a gluten free version! Sounds so good thanks fo the recipe!
Thanks, Farah! I agree! Why not GF? Honestly, if you have any GF friends, they will NEVER know they are gluten-free. You cannot tell – at all.
I’ve been looking for a good cookie recipe cause my husband and toddler and craving cookies.. haha I think they will love this one! I will pin it and try making them!
Thanks so much, Laura! I hope your fam loves it!
Wowzers, these truly look like the ultimate chocolate chip cookies! Can’t wait to try the recipe 🙂
Thanks so much, Chris! I couldn’t believe how pretty they turned out. They really are the perfect chocolate chip cookie!
So lovely! I love the crinkles on top so I have to try this recipe, thanks so much!
Thank you!! I loved the crinkly tops, too! They really do look pretty. And they taste awesome so .. bonus. 😉
I just finished baking your recipe. Seriously, these are deeelicious! My time basing anything gluten-free. I used the Cup 4 Cup brand I found online and had saved for this moment. They’re a lovely rustic crackly cookie. Soft and smooth on the inside. Zero graininess, yay! Thank you so much for generously sharing with everyone ❤️
Thank you so much, Sandra!!
Did cookies take longer than 10 minutes, not done at 10
Ovens are so tricky!! My oven usually has these cookies done in ten minutes!
