The Best Gluten Free Cookies for Gluten Lovers and Haters Alike

The best gluten free cookies taste good! It’s as simple as that. Store bought gluten free cookies shouldn’t be bad just because they are free of gluten. Thankfully, there are some wonderful options out there.

I would argue that store bought gluten free cookies are the best gluten free product you can buy at the grocery store. There are tons of options when it comes to brands and flavors. Unlike gluten free bread, most gluten free cookies have a wonderful texture! Whether you’re gluten intolerant, gluten sensitive, or just experimenting with cutting gluten out of your diet, these cookies will certainly impress you. These are the best gluten free cookies you can buy.

Best Crunchy

Glutino Super Stuffed Chocolate Vanilla Cream Cookies

The thing I like about these Glutino Super Stuffed Chocolate Vanilla Cream Cookies is that they don’t taste like Oreos (even though they look just like Oreos). Like all the Glutino products I tried, these have a great crispy texture. To my mind, these are the Oreo version of Extra Toasty Cheez-Its. They’re crunchier and a little more flavorful. I wouldn’t necessarily choose these over Oreos, but I’d happily eat them if they were offered to me.

Best Soft

Enjoy Life Foods Snickerdoodle Soft Baked Cookies

Be warned! These are the good Enjoy Life Foods cookies! The snickerdoodles! The other ones we tried tasted like garbage, so don’t eat those. These, on the other hand, are absolutely delicious. They are so soft and moist without being spongey (like a lot of gluten free baked goods). These taste like real snickerdoodles! Not only would I think these have gluten in them if I tried them, but you could also easily convince me that they’re homemade!

Goodie Girl Fudge Striped Crunchy Oat Flour Cookies

Goodie Girl makes great cookies. If you grab a box of any of their gluten free treats, you’ll likely be satisfied. These fudge striped crunchy oat flour cookies are the best they have to offer, though. They taste like the Keebler version but a little more oat-y. That didn’t upset us though! The oat compliments the chocolate. I would never know these are gluten free, and that’s why they’re one of the best gluten free cookies we tried.

Best Non-GF Dupe

Double Stuf Gluten Free Oreos

Double Stuf Gluten Free Oreos are an almost identical counterpart to regular Double Stuf Oreos. It’s shocking! I can’t believe they make such a good gluten-less product. I don’t know if I could pick out a regular Oreo in a side-by-side taste test with this gluten free version. I think the original is a little less forgiving, but the extra filling of the Double Stuf disguises any hint that gluten free flavor the cookie component might have. If I couldn’t have gluten, I would always have my pantry stocked with these.

Best of the Best

Tate’s Bake Shop Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you like the regular rendition of Tate’s chocolate chip cookies, you’ll like these because they taste exactly the same as the original. I don’t think I’ve ever had a gluten free product that tastes so much like the real deal. These are crunchy, sweet, and chocolatey. I typically prefer a soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie, but these gluten free Tate’s cookies have me hooked. They are easily the best gluten free cookies on the market.
