5 Best Gluten Free Cookies

Taste: When you’re craving warm, gooey cookies (that aren’t super sweet) reach for a box of this Simple Mills chocolate chip mix. Meghan at Clean Eats, Fast Feets – who doesn’t even lead a gluten-free lifestyle – gushes about the moist, chocolatey flavor of these cookies, and we agree that they’re incredible.

Texture: These gluten-free chocolate chip cookies are soft and light. Some reviewers say the texture is slightly gritty, but we didn’t really notice. If you eat stuff with almond flour regularly, you probably won’t either.

Ingredients: Simple Mills chocolate chip mix rocks our socks off when it comes to ingredients. The company creates a memorable snacking experience with just 7 ingredients, none of which contain GMOs. There’s no dairy, no refined sugar, and no wheat.

Price: Expect to pay between $7 and $8 for a box of mix. Each box makes 12 to 18 cookies.

Taste: If you’re looking for vegan cookies that have plenty of chocolate chips but aren’t overly sweet, Enjoy Life Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies deserve a spot in your pantry. Reviewers rave that these cookies don’t have the funky aftertaste associated with other gluten-free cookies they’ve tried, although a small amount of folks claim they can taste the rosemary extract. Alisa Fleming from Go Dairy Free sums up our thoughts about Enjoy Life cookies in a few words: “They’re just darn good!”

Texture: We dig the wheat-like texture of these gluten-free cookies. Our wheat-eating friends say the crunchy, crispy exterior and small but plentiful chocolate chips remind them of Chips Ahoy cookies.

Ingredients: Don’t panic if you see “buckwheat flour” listed as an ingredient – these cookies are certified gluten-free. There’s also no dairy, eggs, soy, or any of the other top 8 allergens. Plus, the cookies are vegan and verified GMO-free by the Non-GMO Project.

Price: These cookies are ridiculously cheap, and our bank accounts love it. You can get 6 boxes for around $17, which averages out to approximately $2.85 per box.

Taste: These cute bunny cookies bring back fond memories of the snickerdoodles our Grandma used to make during the holiday season. The delectable cinnamon-sugar flavor combo also reminds us of graham crackers (more on graham crackers in a sec). We dunked these tasty cookies in homemade s’mores dip once, and it was definitely one of our better decisions.

Texture: A couple reviewers complain that these SnickerDoodles are gritty or sandy, but we haven’t noticed. They have a slight crunch, and the texture reminds us of graham crackers.

Ingredients: Annie’s doesn’t use any weird ingredients in their gluten-free SnickerDoodles. These all-natural cookies get their sweetness from cane sugar and organic tapioca syrup, and the base is made of rice flour, corn flour, and soy flour. Not all of the ingredients are organic, but we’re happy that there aren’t any artificial flavors or colors in these – especially since our kiddos love them.

Price: These cost around $4 a box, and Amazon typically sells them in packs of 4. We recommend stocking up if you buy online since we’ve seen them for $5 or $6 per box at local grocery stores.
