Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp salted butter softened ~ or non-dairy butter if needed
  • 1/3 cup sugar ~ granulated sugar; cane or beet
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder ~ corn-free if needed
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 lg egg ~ or substitute with a flax egg or 3 Tbsp aquafaba
  • 2 tbsp milk or non-dairy substitute
  • 2 cups gluten-free flour blend that includes Xanthan gum or guar gum. ~ If the blend does not include one of these, add 1/2 tsp of either. Guar gum is corn-free and recommended for Low FODMAP diets.
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips ~ or 1 cup of mini and 1 cup of regular. Enjoy Life and Nestle are my two favorite allergy-friendly brands. Both brands are gluten-free vegan, and soy-free.
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts ~ optional and omit for nut-free

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
  • Add butter, sugars, honey, vanilla, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.  Mix to a creamy consistency.
  • Add vinegar, egg, and milk. Mix together until combined.
  • Stir in flour. Fold in chocolate chips and optional nuts.
  • Place 2 tablespoons of dough 2" apart on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 14-15

Notes

Corn-free baking powder
aquafaba is an egg substitute using the liquid from a can of garbanzo beans ~ it sounds crazy but it works like magic
