Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend with xanthan gum
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 0.75 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg large, room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk large, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • 1 hand mixer
  • 1 18x13-inch baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Whisk the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  2. Beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with a hand mixer in a large bowl until creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Beat in the egg and egg yolk, then the vanilla, until combined.
  4. Add the flour mixture and mix on low just until no dry flour remains.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  7. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  8. Line an 18x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  9. Scoop 12 rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  10. Keep the remaining dough refrigerated while the first batch bakes.
  11. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set.
  12. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  13. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack.
  14. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Notes

For the best texture, chill the dough for the full 30 minutes. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days; freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months. For a dairy-free variation, use dairy-free butter and chocolate chips.
