Ingredients for Gluten Free Brownie Cookies

If you love to bake, there’s a really good chance you have all the ingredients in your pantry for these flourless brownie cookies.

• Butter
• Sugar
• Brown Sugar
• Egg
• Vanilla Extract
• Cocoa
• Salt
• Baking Soda

This is a recipe I got from a dear friend of mine. My family doesn’t follow a gluten-free lifestyle but my youngest son thought they were delicious. They are more decadent than you would think.

Tips for Making Gluten Free Cookies

• Check all of your ingredients to make sure they are gluten-free.
• I learned through a friend that not all vanilla is created equal. While most vanilla extracts are gluten free, some are not. Rodelle has a gluten-free vanilla that I used in this recipe.
• Not all chocolate chips are gluten-free. Nestle makes gluten free chocolate chips and those are what I used.
• Incorporate the ingredients well. By mixing well you eliminate the worry of a gritty texture. 
• Scoop a smaller cookie. Gluten-free cookies tend to be crumbly. These have a great texture.
• If you cook gluten-free regularly you probably already know these tips. I’m still learning about gluten free baking.

Don’t they look delicious? Trust me when I say there’s rich chocolate goodness in every bite of these gluten free brownie cookies. If you’re wondering how to store these cookies, I put them in a plastic container on my counter. They lasted a few days but I think they would be fine longer. 

I also shipped some to my son at college for a friend who is gluten-free. They held up and arrived intact. 

If you’re not concerned with gluten intolerance, you could also try my homemade brownie cookies, which are equally delicious.

It’s always a thoughtful gesture to include a gluten-free option when hosting a cookie exchange or holiday party. These cookies are no more difficult to make than any other recipe.

In fact, they are easier since there are fewer ingredients to measure out.
