Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  3. Cream the Butter and Sugars
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the Eggs and Vanilla
  6. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  7. Mix the Dry Ingredients
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt.
  9. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
  10. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of gluten-free baked goods.
  11. Fold in the Chocolate Chips
  12. Using a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  13. Scoop and Shape the Cookies
  14. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  15. Bake the Cookies
  16. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly undercooked. Gluten-free cookies tend to firm up more as they cool, so avoid overbaking.
  17. Cool and Serve
  18. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
