Ingredients
  

  • 2 Sticks Unsalted Butter- Softened
  • 1 Cup White Sugar
  • 1 Cup Light or Dark Brown Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3 Cups Gluten-Free Flour
  • 1 1/4 Tsp Xanthan Gum If Gluten-Free Flour blend does not have it in the mix already
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Baking Soda
  • 3 Cups Chocolate Chips Can use milk, dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Flaky Sea Salt Optional

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 325°F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper (optional).
  • If using chocolate bars, chop chocolate into large, medium and, small pieces, set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with both sugars until light and creamy.
  • Add eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
  • Add the gluten-free flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix well.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • To make large cookies, use 1/4 cup measuring cup or a large muffin scoop and drop the cookie dough onto a baking sheet.
  • Or for a smaller size cookie use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop the dough onto the cookie sheet.
  • If making the larger cookie bake approx 15-18 minutes, until the edges are lightly brown.
  • If making the smaller cookie bake approx 8-11 minutes, until the edges are lightly brown.
  • Sprinkle lightly with flakey sea salt (optional)

Notes

These can be made using regular flour. Just substitute in regular all-purpose flour for gluten-free flour.
Cooking times are approximate as all ovens are different.  I suggest checking at the lowest time and adding if needed.
Full batch makes approx 30 large 1/4 cup cookies
1/2 batch makes approx 15 - 17  large 1/4 cup cookies
The cookie dough freezes well, to bake just remove from freezer and bake frozen, keep in mind cook times may vary.
