August 4th is National Chocolate Cookie Day. And a great day it is!
Chocolate chip cookies stand near the heap of all cookies Nothing is better than a perfect chocolate chip cookie. A perfect chocolate chip cookie is slightly crispy on the outside, chewy, and chocolatey on the inside, the perfect combination in every single bite.
This gluten-free chocolate chip cookie is no exception. It’s been adapted from the recipe here: http://www.landolakes.com/recipe/1470/chewy-chocolate-chip-cookies-gluten-free-recipe but made slightly ever healthier with egg substitute and more flavorful with almond flour.
The butter flavor shortening actually works better than the butter as it’s more stable in baking.
It is fun to find different recipes to make the classic delight. Check it out!

Who doesn’t love a perfect chocolate chip cookie? I agree with you that the perfect cookie is crispy on the outside, and chewy, and chocolatey on the inside, with lots of chips! Your recipe sounds delicious and I cannot wait to give it a try!

I have all the ingredients, even the Xanthan Gum, so today is a good day to try this recipe. Do you think that butter instead of shortening would work? I have a recipe that uses Almond Flour that is good too. Thanks for sharing!!
Dominique
I think you could use butter. However, the cookies may spread more and be a bit flatter. On the plus side, the cookies made with butter may be a little richer in flavor…

Wow. I would like to have my chocolate chip cookies crispy but a little chewy on the middle. This calls for a freshly brewed coffee americano. Great.

These are such a great idea, as if you have people visit who are gluten free it is nice to provide an alternative x
