If you’re a fan of ube, or if you’re looking for something to try with ube in it, these gluten free ube white chocolate cookies are for you! Ube, or purple yam, is something I was introduced to via incredible Filipino treats that highlight the nutty, sultry flavor that this deep purple produce packs. It’s a bit trickier to find key ube ingredients over here in the UK, but I’ve managed to find ube extract, and have some options for sourcing ube powder and ube jam which are also awesome additions to so many bakes (plus, the jam is great on its own!). If you’re new to ube, I highly…

Gluten Free White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies
These gluten free white chocolate macadamia cookies are a DREAM. Full stop. Background for this flavor: I never used to be a fan of white chocolate (Kendra, on the other hand, loved the stuff growing up!). When given the choice between milk, dark, and white, I would always opt for the bars that actually tasted like chocolate, and thus white chocolate got left by the wayside. The higher % the better, really – I had a phase when 90% dark chocolate was all I’d eat (and I still love it! It’s like eating chocolate dirt, in the best possible way you can imagine that). But this all changed when I…

Gluten Free Caramel Cornflake Cookies
These gluten free caramel cornflake cookies were an EPIC experiment, and I’m SO excited to finally share the recipe because they’re insanely satisfying. Imagine a rich, chewy-centered, crispy-edged cookie, with crunchy cornflakes and sultry caramel and then make these and stop imagining and actually eat an entire batch. They’ve got all the desirable cookie textures in one perfect package, and are great gifts/party food too! They’ve got a couple more steps than the other cookies on the blog because they use browned butter and homemade caramel, but if you’re a bit nervous about homemade caramel (TOTALLY understandable), you can absolutely grab a store-bought caramel sauce and cut down the time…

Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Ginger Cookies
These are INSANE. I was in shock after the first bite and utterly astounded that I had found my dream cookie y’all. These gluten free dark chocolate ginger cookies are a case study in indulgence, packed with dutched cocoa powder and chopped dark chocolate for double the chewy, gooey, chocolately goodness, and studded with sultry, rich candied ginger. The ultimate dark chocolate cookie with all of the elegance and spice of crystalized ginger gems. I cannot believe I haven’t tried this combo in cookie form before!! (I did try it in muffin form with these giant chocolate ginger muffins, but I’m now going to be trying it in all recipes…

Gluten Free Funfetti Cookies
These gluten free funfetti cookies are a huge triumph for me – they’re big, chewy in the center, crispy on the edges, with a fantastic crunch of sprinkles throughout (basically my ideal cookie)! I’ve had a low-level dread of coming up with new gluten free cookie recipes after countless attempts over the past 15 or so years that resulted in dry, crumbly, cakey, “gluten free tasting” (if you know you know) cookies. Now, to be fair, I have come up with a few recipes in the past three years, notably my absolute go-to hazelnut chocolate cookies, or these peanut butter sandwich (nutter butter) cookies, or these tahini chocolate chunk cookies…

Gluten Free Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
These are a family favorite and one of our mom’s absolute most brilliant recipes – gluten free or otherwise!! In this case, these gluten free chocolate crinkle cookies are a dream and a half and perfect for the holidays or for a year-round treat. These have a bit of a new twist on them, with more cocoa powder (and dutched!) than in the original Mama Lynn recipe, which give them a deeper chocolate flavor and a bit of a chew reminiscent of macarons that I just love. They’re also some of the easiest cookies on the blog, so as long as you have a few hours (the dough does need…

The Best Chewy Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Gluten free chocolate chip cookies have been my absolute baking nemesis for the last 17 years. I know, it’s a long time to be at-odds with quite possibly the most famous baked good on the face of the planet, but there’s really no where to hide in these miraculously-buttery, chewy, golden, chocolate-studded disks of glorious sugar-highs. And when there’s no where to hide, all of the gluten free troubles (crumbly, dry, that “gluten free flour taste” that just persists) are laid bare in a very un-appetizing way. You can’t just toss together flour, butter, sugar, eggs, and call it a day, you have to pull out all of the stops,…

Gluten Free Chewy Glazed Molasses Cookies
I am a big fan of molasses. There’s something about the tar-like jar of deeply earthy, sticky, caramelly syrup that nestles perfectly into childhood memories, ghosts of holiday bakings past, and evokes that golden moment of a hot slice of cornbread slathered with butter, waiting for a smear of this edible black gold. It’s richer than other syrups, heavy with hidden flavors and notes you wouldn’t find in honey or maple syrup, and the silky depth of it’s dark ooze is far more dangerously fun than either. The molasses glaze I made for these chewy gluten free molasses cookies is by far one of my favorites (and I’ve made a…

Gluten Free Monster Cookies
These were, perhaps, the trickiest cookies I’ve made to date. I had a grand plan for creating some kind of “kitchen sink” gluten free cookie with pretzels and chips and chocolate chunks and, my favorite, chocolate/candy-covered sunflower seeds. I’d been planning to make these darn cookies for over a month, tinkering with the recipe idea on paper and waiting for ingredients to arrive, when I finally got the chance to make them this weekend. I optimistically tossed in all of the add-ins and, like most of my other cookie recipes, I chilled the dough in the fridge before baking. In the midst of an already-busy baking weekend, I missed my…

Gluten Free Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
I gotta say, getting a good, chewy, gluten free cookie is a science. Definitely a science worth studying and perfecting, but who has that kind of time? I certainly didn’t until this three-day weekend and a full day of recipe research, development, taste-testing, and finally, resulting trays upon trays of what I’m now calling a scientific breakthrough: the perfectly chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. We’ve done it, ladies, gentlemen, and persons of the gluten free world, you can all go home and make yourself a batch and be thoroughly glad that you did. These cookies are BIG, BOLD, and BETTER than anything you’ll spend $7/cookie on in stores. They’re studded…
