Everyone has been devouring these Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies. They’re so incredible that none of our friends can tell they’re gluten-free! Loaded with 3 types of chocolate, this chocolatey cookie base is studded with dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate. Yes, this is an all chocolate, all the time cookie for chocolate lovers everywhere!
This gluten-free cookie (also egg-free) is one of the most decadent desserts that I’ve ever created. I went wild with it! My husband liked these cookies so much that he asked me to make a batch for a business associate. Don’t be put off though, like everything I make, this is a no-fuss recipe that can be thrown together in just a few minutes.
If you are looking for super healthy gluten-free cookies, leave the white and milk chocolate chips out of this recipe, which will cut out most of the sugar. You’ll still end up with something close to chocolate heaven, i.e., a dark chocolate cookie featuring dark chocolate chips. Or if you’re not in the mood to tinker, try my Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe.

Technically, this is not a paleo cookie. It is not even a primal cookie. It is a special occasion cookie. I love serving these gluten-free chocolate cookies at our Super Bowl party. They’re also the perfect Valentine’s Day dessert, and make a fabulous gluten-free Christmas cookie.
I made these cookies live for FOX 31 in Denver on the Colorado “Everyday” Show. You can watch below:

Special occasion cookies are the best kind!!! I love a good choc chip cookie with a glass of almond milk. I’m not a huge fan of white chocolate so may replace that with extra dark or milk chips, maybe some chopped walnuts if i’m feeling crazy. My most decadent treat would have to be dairy free ice cream made with coconut cream, almond milk, and dairy free dark chocolate.

These look great, Elana! I just bought 3 lbs. of almond flour, too. ;)
Archena says
Thank you Elana for this great recipe and no eggs!
Lindsay says
Anything I can substitute for the Palm Shortening??
Meagan says
Try butter or coconut oil!
Cassandra says
I am glad you answered this question because it was one I had myself! These cookies look phenomenal, btw!
Christina says
do you substitute coconut oil in exact proportion or does it need to be modified?
Tina says
I substituted coconut oil in exact quantity to the palm oil, but found I had to add a tinsy winsy bit more at the end, after working the mixture (and finding it was a bit too dry and crumbly). I also added say an extra teaspoon of honey… it all comes down to how the mixture feels really…
Outcome = extremely decadent yummy cookies that everyone loved and even went back for seconds and thirds! I agree with Elana that this cookie dough does not get a chance to be frozen for another time as it is so popular with everyone! hehehe Fantastic recipe!
Julia says
Do you think regular shortening (like crisco) could work as a sub as well?
Tonya says
Loved the video and the recipe.
Rose says
I was wondering which milk chocolate chips you used.
Elana says
Rose, if you click on the green text in the ingredients portion of the recipe you will get that info :-)
Noelle (@singerinkitchen) says
WOW these look spectacular!
Brandon says
Love the instructional video Elana! You know what would take these cookies up a notch? Covering them in melted dark chocolate. It is an every-now-and-then treat, after all. :)
Ali says
Beautiful! My twin boys just asked if we could make these. A baking project seems to be in order for this afternoon! :)
Ali says
So before I even finished leaving my last comment, my twin boys (who just turned 4) ran into the kitchen and began to dump applesauce and coconut sugar into a bowl to make these cookies….so we improvised and didn’t follow your recipe. I added all of the other ingredients except for the honey (I figured that the coconut sugar/applesauce mixture already subbed in for that) and chocolate/white chocolate chips (we used some enjoy life mini chips)…..no measurements used…..we just added almond flour until the dough was stiff….and they added quite a bit of organic almond flavoring too. They baked up beautifully….I will email a photo….thank you!!! :)
Julia says
This might not be paleo, but it sure looks delicious! Almond and chocolate are always a great combo, especially if it’s THREE kinds of chocolate!
