I love chocolate chip cookies, as does everyone in my family. I have a favorite recipe that I use that I am going to post below. However, every once in a while I like to change things up & use chips other than the semi-sweet variety.
Here are a list of verified gluten-free chips from Nestle:
- milk chocolate chips
- semi sweet morsels
- chocolate chunks
- semi sweet mini morsels
- milk chocolate morsels
- premier white morsels
- peanut butter & milk morsels
- milk chocolate & peanut butter swirled morsels
- semi sweet & premier white swirled morsels
***The Nestle butterscotch chips are not gluten-free.
If you are looking for a butterscotch chip, Hershey’s are gluten-free, as are these others:
- Special Dark
- cinnamon
- semi sweet
- milk chocolate
Enjoy Life makes a gluten-free, dairy-free, peanut-free, tree-nut free, soy free, egg free and casein-free chocolate chip.

Chocolate Chip Cookies ~ Gluten-Free
Ingredients:
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
2 sticks of butter (1 cup), melted
1 large egg
1 tsp. Vanilla

2 tsp. Xanthan gum
1 tsp. Baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ package (I used 6 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Nuts (optional, however many you want)
GF Oats (I used Lara’s ~ I only used about ¼ cup or so, but use your judgment) optional
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees
2. Mix sugars, butter, egg and vanilla in large bowl. Stir in flour, xanthan gum, baking soda and salt (dough will be stiff)
3. Stir in chocolate chips, nuts and/or oats
4. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto un-greased cookie sheet (**I did Pam my sheets)
5. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown. Cool Slightly; remove from cookie sheet. Cool on wire rack.



My son and me, November 2000. This is before we were gluten-free/diagnosed Celiac.


What a great list Kim, thanks for compiling!! FYI, I recently found some vegan chocolate chips at Whole foods under the 365 brand name, they are gluten-free too!
I am always down for a choc chip cookie! Thanks for posting a great recipe with a variety of chip options!
You're so right about those butterscotch chips from Nestle. I bought them and couldn't use them. Thanks for the tip on the ones from Hershey's.
Heidi – Thanks for mentioning that!
Sarah – No problem! I love these with the GF oats, too!
Julie – Jon loves the Hershey's Butterscotch & just had some on his pancakes!

Are the new dark choc. Nestle morsels certified GF?
They are not certified GF, no. They don't have any gluten-containing ingredients & Nestle will clearly label gluten on the label.

My daughter has a gluten allergy, seems to have developed late, she is in her thirties now. I got here trying to determine if chocolate chips were gluten free. My kids always liked my Chocolate Chip cookies. Now I will be able to made some GF cookies for my daughter. I always bake a small batch and eat them to ensure they are up to snuff so to speak.
