Soft, chewy, and slightly crisp on the outside, these gluten-free chocolate chip cookies are the BEST! And oh yeah - they don't skimp on the chocolate chips!

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter (softened)
  • ⅓ cup white cane sugar
  • ⅔ cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1¾ cups gluten-free measure-for-measure flour ((217 grams))
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1½ cups chocolate chips ((one 12 oz bag))

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Using a stand mixer (or a hand mixer with a large bowl), cream softened butter, white sugar, and packed light brown sugar for 3-4 minutes on medium speed, or until soft, smooth, creamy, and evenly incorporated.

  3. 3

    Add the room temperature egg and vanilla extract. Turn the mixer back on to medium speed and cream together another minute.

  4. 4

    Add the carefully measured dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda) and mix on low speed until just combined.

  5. 5

    Stir in chocolate chips.

  6. 6

    Using a small cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough onto silicone baking mat lined baking sheets. (If you don't have a cookie scoop, each cookie dough ball contains about 2 tablespoons cookie dough and has a diameter of about 1.6 inches.) Don't overcrowd cookie sheet as cookies will spread. Place cookies a couple inches apart, 12 cookies per baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until desired crispness.

  8. 8

    Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    Enjoy!
