Ingredients
Gluten-free flour blend (store-bought or homemade, e.g., brown rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch)
Xanthan gum (if not in blend)
Unsalted butter
Granulated sugar
Brown sugar
Eggs
Vanilla extract
Baking soda
Salt
Chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
Understand the different types of gluten-free flours and consider using a balanced blend of whole grain flours and starches for optimal texture.
Cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum (if using), baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks. Optionally, add other mix-ins like nuts, sea salt, or dried fruit.
Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow flours to hydrate and fats to solidify. This prevents spreading and enhances flavor.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between cookies.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Do not overbake.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days. For longer storage, freeze baked cookies or raw dough.
