Chocolate Chip Cookies - Gluten Free

1-2/3 cups GF All Purpose Baking flour (I like Pamela's or make your own)
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Xanthan Gum
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 cup Butter
3/4 cup packed Brown Sugar
1/3 cup Sugar
2 tsp Vanilla (make sure to use real vanilla)
1 large Egg
1 cup Chocolate Chips
1/4 cup chopped Walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a large cookie sheet or line with parchment paper; set aside.
Stir together the GF baking flour, baking soda, xanthan gum and salt; set aside.
In a large mixer bowl, beat butter (room temperature, not melted) with granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and egg; scrape sides of bowl frequently. Beat in flour mixture on low speed, mixing thoroughly. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
Drop by tablespoonfuls 2” apart on baking sheet.
Bake 10-12 minutes on center rack of oven or until lightly browned. Cool 2-3 minutes before removing from cookie sheet.

You should get about 2 dozen cookies.

A good GF flour mix is 1 part brown rice, 1 part sweet rice, 2 parts sorghum, and 3 parts tapioca.
