If you hadn’t read the headline and had only seen the above picture of these chocolate chip cookies, would you dare claim they look gluten-free? With the crinkled top and gooey interior, the baked goods could fool even the most avid pastry connoisseur.

We have even better news — they don’t taste gluten-free either. How is it possible?! We’re not really sure, but we think it has everything to do with the recipe from Cup4Cup, a line of gluten-free flours and mixes developed by chef Thomas Keller.

The recipe deviates from the original Toll House version, and the changes are pretty clever. Toll House calls for a one-to-one ratio of plain granulated and brown sugar. However, Cup4Cup’s uses mostly dark brown sugar. The additional molasses found in dark brown sugar yields a chewier, more golden cookie. This GF option also contains twice the amount of vanilla extract. TBH, who doesn’t already double up on the floral, bourbon-y vanilla when making a batch of cookies, anyway?

Since we used Cup4Cup’s recipe, we opted to use its flour, which markets itself as a product that can be substituted one-for-one in recipes that call for all-purpose wheat flour. The blend of cornstarch, white and brown rice flours, milk powder, tapioca, potato starch, and xanthan gum acts, looks, and tastes undistinguishable from wheat flour. The dough binds effortlessly just like your conventional recipe. The raw dough, dare we admit, is yummy in its raw form (a rarity for gluten-free cookie doughs that have a tendency to be sandy). Though we haven’t tested this, you could probably use this recipe with another one-for-one gluten-free flour of your choice like Bob’s Red Mill One-to-One or cassava flour, though results may vary.

We only made two adjustments to Cup4Cup’s recipe. We salted the tops of the dough with Maldon sea salt (any flake sea salt will do), because it makes the molasses-y and vanilla-y flavors pop. We also used slightly less chocolate than is recommended. One package of chips or chunks should sufficiently dot each cookie without overwhelming it.

Lastly, we highly encourage you to use a spring ice cream scoop to divide the dough into perfectly portioned rounds. This way, all of your cookies look the same and more importantly bake up evenly. Now, are you ready to play the biggest prank on your non-GF friends?

Recipe: Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Makes 18-24 cookies

Recipe Notes: We used salted butter in this recipe, because we like how it enhances the taste of the chocolate and vanilla, however you can always go with unsalted if you prefer. The key is to leave it out overnight so it has time to sufficiently thaw out.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups dark muscovado sugar or dark brown sugar, lightly packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 1/2 cups Cup4Cup Multipurpose Flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/2 cups (12-ounce package) high quality chocolate chunks or chocolate chips
• Flaky salt, for topping
• Milk, for serving (optional)

Directions: Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Cream together the butter and both sugars until fluffy.

3. Add in eggs and vanilla. Mix on medium speed until fully incorporated.

4. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl and then add to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.

5. Stir in chocolate chunks or chips.

6. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto parchment lined baking sheets. Sprinkle tops generously with Maldon sea salt (optional).

7. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until light golden brown.

8. Cool chocolate chip cookies for 5 minutes before removing from cookie sheet. Serve with milk for dunking, optional.

See Dylan Sprouse & Barbara Palvin's Halloween Couple's Costume!

A post shared by Barbara Palvin (@realbarbarapalvin)

For Halloween Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin stunned as the Phantom and Christine from Phantom of the Opera. Dylan wore a mask and a black cape, while Barbara wore a beautiful white dress. While the costume is obviously a nod to the musical, it also totally reminds us of their day as bride and groom.

"In Sleep He Sang to Me," Barbara said in a post, quoting the musical's titular number. "@dylansprouse my forever Phantom."

Who did Dylan Sprouse marry?

On the couple's wedding day (July 15, 2023), Barbara wore a Vivienne Westwood wedding gown to celebrate her Hungarian nuptials, bringing together their nearest and dearest for an intimate(-ish) celebration. Barbara and Dylan tied the knot on her parent's property, which conveniently doubles as an event venue, with plans to host an larger wedding in California in the fall.

"This past weekend was supposed to be an intimate event, but we ended up having 115 guests in the end because there are a lot of people we care about, and we wanted them all to be there," Barbara told Vogue.

When did Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin get engaged?

After months of speculation surrounding the couple's engagement, Dylan and Barbara confirmed their engagement in conversation with Sprouse's twin brother, actor Cole Sprouse, for V Magazine in June, sharing that they got engaged last September.

"We didn't necessarily feel the need to be fully transparent with the public about that aspect of our engagement," Dylan said. "What we wanted to do with Stephen [Gan, V editor-in-chief] and the V team is make something that was kind of tongue-in-cheek about the nature of private versus public. We're playing with the idea of perception."

Barbara noted that the lovebirds wanted to announce the news "on our time," adding, "When some people leaked the information that we got engaged, our PR team was like, 'Hey, so you guys should do maybe a post about it or talk to this magazine or talk to that magazine…' That really annoyed me because I knew we were building this story up. So, I'm very happy that we ended up doing it our way."

When did Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse start dating?

According to People, the couple met back in 2017 after a party when the Suite Life On Deck star slid into the model’s DMs (and as they say, the rest is history). The duo made their relationship Instagram official back in 2018 with Barbara’s sweet birthday tribute for Dylan’s 26th birthday.

Let’s be real here for a second though, we all knew they were endgame the minute Dylan went above and beyond to support Barbara at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show that same year (remember this viral video?). Three days after the fashion show, the Hungarian model told Vogue Australia that she hadn’t had a boyfriend in six years, but had now found “the perfect guy” in Dylan (we aren’t crying, you are).

How old are Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse?

Barbara Palvin was born on October 8, 1993, making her 31 years old. Dylan Sprouse was born on August 4, 1992, meaning he's 32 years old. So there's only a one-year age gap between them!
