Gluten-free chocolate chips cookies

Ingredients

• •1 cup butter
• •1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• •1/2 cup granulated sugar
• •2 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract
• •1 teaspoon salt
• •2 large eggs
• •2 1/3 cup King Arthur Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Flour
• •1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• •1 teaspoon baking powder
• •1 teaspoon baking soda
• •2 cup chocolate chips
• •1 1/2 cup chopped nuts, optional

Steps

1. 1Beat the butter, sugars, vanilla and salt till fluffy.
2. 2Beat in the eggs one at a time, being sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl midway through to make sure everything is well combined.
3. 3Whisk together the flour or flour blend, xanthan gum, baking powder, and baking soda.
4. 4Beat the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, then blend in the chocolate chips and nuts. Again, scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to be sure everything is well blended.
5. 5Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour, or for up to 2 days.
6. 6Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a couple of baking sheets, or line with parchment.
7. 7Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets; a tablespoon cookie scoop works well here. Leave space between the cookies so they can spread.
8. 8Bake the cookies for 9 to 11 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, to set, before transferring to racks to cool completely. Or allow them to cool right on the baking sheets.
