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:

These are great! I used butter instead of the shortening. I used just dark chocolate chips and walnuts for the other chocolate chips. So good!
Nancy Gordon says
Thank you for this recipe. I’m always looking for really yummy GF cookie recipes for three of my daughters and me! I have amazing “regular” cookie recipes that I used to be able to make before having to go GF. I can’t wait to try these and have cookies again!

I am going to make these today. There is nothing better than baking treats at home on a snow day!! (*Love* this weather!)

Just wanted to thank you for all the great recipe ideas. As a pastry chef just starting a new business that promotes health and wellness not only through my desserts but through the company I work for, Isagenix, it is great to see new ideas on how to make this line of work fun and good for others. Thanks again!

Beth @ Tasty Yummies says
Yes please! I would like to have these right now! I have a lot of coconut oil here, I wonder if that would work instead of the palm oil shortening. Looks like I am gonna have to just try it out! Hmm and maybe peanut butter chips instead of white chocolate chips…. Mmmmmmm!
MaryBeth says
Yes, I used coconut oil with good results. See my other subs below.
