Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour Different gluten-free flours can yield different textures.
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg For a vegan option, substitute with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water).
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Mix dark chocolate and white chocolate chips for variety.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fluffy.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing well to combine.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  3. Let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them for up to a week in an airtight container at room temperature. They freeze beautifully; just freeze the dough in balls for easy baking later. Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to allow cookies to spread properly.
