Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten-Free)

These gluten-free chocolate chip cookies use sweet rice flour, also known as glutinous rice flour.

Ingredients

• ½ cup (1 stick / 120 ml) butter
• ½ cup (120 ml) white granulated sugar
• ½ cup (120 ml) brown sugar
• 2 ea. (100 g) eggs
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1¼ cup (300 ml / 1 cup + 2 tablespoons) sweet rice flour
• 1 tsp xanthan gum
• ¾ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• Chocolate chips (as many as you like)

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Mix the sweet rice flour, xanthan gum, baking powder and baking soda in a large mixing bowl.
3. In a smaller mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and continue mixing.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Don't worry about over-mixing; since there is no gluten in the flour, there is no danger of overworking it.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Line cookie sheet with silicone mat and spoon on balls of dough, about 1½ inches (4 cm) in diameter.
7. Put cookie dough in the fridge for 30–40 minutes or into the freezer for 10–20 minutes.
8. Bake until golden brown.
