Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Butter or dairy-free butter substitute ~ for best results I would use a butter-flavored product like Earth Balance Original Buttery Spread.
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar ~ dark or light brown sugar~ lightly packed
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 lg eggs or 6 Tbsp aquafaba ~ liquid drained from canned garbanzo beans slightly whipped or use 2 eggs if not vegan
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 3/4 cup gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum or guar gum. I used King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure For Measure Flour.
  • 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips ~ I used Enjoy Life Allergy Friendly Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup Enjoy Life Allergy-Friendly Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 – 1 cup chopped walnuts or other chopped nuts *optional ~ omit for nut-free

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Prepare cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl add butter and sugars; mix well. This should be smooth and creamy.
  • Add vanilla and eggs or aquafaba; mix well.
  • Add salt, baking soda, and 1 cup of the gluten-free flour. Stir with a wooden spoon or mixer on the lowest speed until just combined.
  • Add the remaining gluten-free flour. Stir to combine or use the lowest setting of your mixer.
  • Stir in all chocolate chips. Nuts too if you decide to add them.
  • Once the dough is completely mixed…have a taste!!! It’s good and no raw egg to worry about.
  • Place medium scoop size mounds of dough or about 1 1/2 tbsp. on prepared cookie sheets.
  • Slightly press down and bake for 14-15 minutes. Check after 12-13 minutes to test your own oven. I haven’t met two the same yet!!
  • Let cookies set a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

If you feel like the cookies are flatter than you would like, add 1 1/2 tbsp more flour to the remaining dough. Then make a note to add 2 tbsp more flour the next time you make them.
