If you love a classic chocolate chip cookie but need it gluten-free, this Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie is for you! It is dense and crispy on the edges but gooey and chocolatey in the middle.

In 2024, I learned that I have gluten sensitivity, and my overconsumption of all things gluten was making my body very inflamed. So, over the last year, I have reduced the amount of gluten I consume and have found relief. Through this process, Arturo has been very kind to experiment with gluten-free flour. Most have been significant failures, but not this cookie! This is one we make on repeat because it is delicious, and I can enjoy it knowing I will not pay for it in the next couple of days.

Ingredients to Make the Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

P.S. This recipe is made in a small batch. Double the recipe if you want to make a 10” skillet cookie!

Gluten-Free Flour—My go-to gluten-free flour is King Arthur’s 1:1 gluten-free flour. However, we have also been using the 4 Cup brand.

Baking Soda – to make it rise

Salt – to even out the sweet

Unsalted Butter – Everything is better with butter

Sugar Brown Sugar – Sweet!!

Pure Cane Demerara Sugar – gives the cookie an extra richness that takes it to the next level. We order this off Amazon.

Vanilla

Egg—We sometimes use duck eggs, mainly because I have them on hand, but they are also great for baking.

Milk Chocolate Chips – My go-to brand is Ghirardelli.

How to make the Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

Preheat oven to 375. In an 8” cast iron skillet, brown the butter and let it cool.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt until combined. Set aside.

Combine the browned butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla in a larger mixing bowl.

Add dry ingredients in thirds. You can do this with a spatula or hand mixer.

Once all ingredients are combined, fold in the milk chocolate chips.

Pat the dough in the 8-inch skillet in which the butter was browned.

Bake in a 375 oven for 25-30 min.

You can make this cookie with regular flour.
Gluten-free cookies can take longer to bake, but don’t worry; this cookie’s baking time is 25-30 minutes.
Why a skillet? Really, it just makes the presentation fun! This cookie can be made into regular Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies, but our family prefers using the skillet.
To store the cookie, we like to cover it with foil and set it on the counter for easy access!
