I’ve been keeping this long-time favorite cookie recipe from you for too long! I’m sorry! I’ve been bringing these gluten-free triple chocolate cookies to potlucks and teacher appreciation parties for years! Everyone loves these cookies, whether they eat gluten or not!
It doesn’t get more chocolatey than these cookies – with chocolate in three forms! Cocoa powder, melted chocolate plus additional chocolate chips stirred in make these chocolate heaven!
They’re perfectly chewy cookies, though you can definitely cook longer for crunchier ones.
I’ve actually photographed these cookies 3 times with the intention of getting them shared here on the blog. The most recent time was in 2014 – and while I still don’t love the photos, I know you all just really care about good recipes more than good photos! So I decided to call these good enough and stop keeping this recipe from you any longer!
Notes on ingredients for these gluten free chocolate cookies:
- Flour: I’ve always made these with gfJules all-purpose gluten-free flour blend because it works excellent! Since gfJules contains some xanthan gum, no additional gums are needed for binding. While I often buy it direct from gfJules website, you can also get gfJules flour on Amazon here now!
- Cocoa: I’ve made them a deeper chocolate by using Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa
for part of the cocoa in the recipe. It’s my secret trick in most of my chocolate recipes! I can find it at most of my local stores but you can also pick up Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa at Amazon.
- Chocolate: I recommend Guittard semi-sweet chocolate, Enjoy Life semi-sweet mega chunks and mini chips, or Trader Joe’s chocolate chunks and chips. If you like dark chocolate, feel free to use that for the chips that you stir in or the ones you melt.
I hope you enjoy these gluten-free chocolate cookies as much as we do here!

**For the baking cocoa, I like to use part Hershey's special dark cocoa and part regular cocoa. This helps the cookies be even darker.Recommended Products

These were so, incredibly good. Even my husband, who isn't GF, couldn't stop eating them. The recipe makes a lot of cookies. I halved the recipe and it still made plenty. Great recipe!!

I love these cookies! It doesn’t feel like you’re eating gluten-free cookies when you’re eating them. Yummy!

This is a nice recipe. I used coconut flour and added a tsp.of coconut emulsion(which is very concentrated so use sparingly) to the chocolate chips as I was melting them. Gave the chocolate cookies a surprisingly delightful taste!

Have you ever froze the dough or cookies? These look fantastic, but way too many cookies at one time for my house ;-)

Yes I have. I would not freeze this dough, or even refrigerate it, as it turns to a concrete like consistency. But you can definitely freeze the baked cookies. Just let them cool completely, then stack in a Ziploc freezer bag and freeze. You can pull out just one or two at a time and let come to room temperature or microwave in 15 second increments to get to the temp you want!
