Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up. This step ensures the cookies have a better texture and prevents spreading during baking.

Serving

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with your favorite beverage.

Storage

  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
