Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (or mix-ins of your choice)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop and bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
- Cool and serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
