Delicious, Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have many different gluten free chocolate chip cookie recipes on this blog, but I always like experimenting and coming up with different versions.  The coconut flour in these makes them chewier than usual, although if you let them brown just a bit more you'll end up with crispy cookies.  They're flexible and forgiving.  Use any mix of chocolate chips you like - I gave a few suggestions below.  Enjoy!

Delicious, Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Makes 3-4 trays of cookies, depending on size/spacing

Preheat oven to 350 F or 325 F convection.  Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicon liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together and set aside: (it's important to mix the dry ingredients separately in gluten-free baking to avoid clumps)
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Cream together:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar

Add and mix in, scraping the sides: 
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
1/4 cup milk (lactose-free or alternatives work well)

Add the dry (flours from above) ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until combined.  

Add and mix in chocolate (approximately 1 - 1 1/2 cups chips works well (or more, if you prefer!) - you can mix and match your favorite flavors - some of our favorites are below): 
1/2 - 3/4 cup semi-sweet chips
1/2 - 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
OR
1/2 - 3/4 cup caramel chips (if you can find them - these cookies were a-maz-ing and if I find caramel chips again, I'm buying several bags!)
1/2 - 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
OR
1/2 cup mint chips
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup semi-sweet chips

Scoop 1 or 2 Tbsp scoops onto parchment or silicon-lined baking pans.  

Bake at 350 F for 7-8 minutes for smaller cookies and 8-10 minutes for larger cookies, until a light golden brown.  Lighter colored will be softer, a darker golden brown will give you a crispier cookie.   

Cool on wire racks.  These are delicious fresh from the oven, and tend to fly off the cooling racks.  Once fully cooled, extra cookies freeze perfectly in ziplocs.  They're delicious! Enjoy! 

Triple chocolate cookies. 
Mint-chocolate chip cookies. Yum!
