These Gluten Free Chocolate Sugar Cookies don’t require you to chill the dough, hold their shape beautifully when baking, and have a wonderful chocolate flavor.
If you love my recipe for gluten free Rolled Sugar Cookies, just wait until you try these Chocolate Sugar Cookies.
A rich, chocolate flavour – almost brownie like.
The dough rolls out and bakes up like a dream. Use any cookie cutter you like, these cookies hold their shape beautifully when baking.
And the best thing? The dough for these gluten free Chocolate Sugar Cookies does not require any chilling. So mix up the dough, roll it out, bake, and decorate without delays.
A few notes for making the best GF Chocolate Sugar Cookies:
- You are going to want to use a mixer to mix this dough together. It is a stiff dough, and I’m not sure mixing with a wooden spoon would be easy. Doable, maybe, but not easy.
- Roll out the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap. This ensures that the dough doesn’t stick to the counter or the rolling pin, and you don’t need to add any extra flour to roll the cookies out.
- Use two 1/4-inch dowels, one on either side of your dough, for your rolling pin to sit on. This will help you to roll the dough out to a nice, even 1/4-inch thickness.
- Bake cookies of the same size on the cookie sheet. Small cookies will bake a little bit faster than large cookies. Baking cookies of the same size on the baking sheet means that no cookies are over-baked.
Decorating your Chocolate Sugar Cookies:
Whenever I make my rolled out sugar cookies, gluten free Gingerbread Cookies, or these gluten free Chocolate Sugar Cookies, I always use the Royal Icing recipe from Sweetopia.
It takes a little playing around with to get the right consistency of the icing, but she has so many great decorating tips and tricks, you’ll get it in no time.
You could also use this Crusting Buttercream. It pipes beautiful roses, which would be perfect piped on top a round cookie for Valentine’s Day.
My friend Megan also has a Dairy-Free Frosting recipe for those that can’t tolerate dairy.
When it comes to decorating sugar cookies, I find inspiration on Pinterest. Although I am kind of creative and crafty – I always find it easier to replicate something, or gain inspiration, from pictures others have shared.

Hi there. I’ve been following you for awhile. Love that your recipes call for varying amounts of starches and flours rather that just using an all-purpose gluten-free mix. That being said, do you have any vegan gluten-free recipes on your site? (I checked your recipe archives but didn’t see an appropriate category) I can’t do milk, butter, or eggs. Thank you.
