Servings: 30 servings

Ingredients

  • ¼ c. coconut oil melted
  • 6 T. butter softened
  • ¾ c. brown sugar
  • ½ c. white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ¾ c. white rice flour
  • ¾ c. tapioca starch
  • 1 ¼ t. xanthan gum
  • Or 2 ½ c. all-purpose gluten free flour instead of the above 3 ingredients
  • 1 t. baking soda
  • ½ t. baking powder
  • ½ t. salt
  • 1 ½ c. chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer combine oil, butter and sugars. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Add eggs and continue mixing for another minute.
  • In a separate, medium-sized bowl, combine flour, starch, gum, soda, powder and salt. Toss to thoroughly mix.
  • Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the butter/sugar mixture, making sure to mix well after each addition.
  • Once batter is thoroughly mixed, stir in chocolate chips by hand.
  • Refrigerate dough for at least 2 hours before baking.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • (If refrigerating overnight, make sure to let the dough sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking. The coconut oil will solidify and can make scooping the dough difficult.)
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place 1 ½-tablespoon sized balls of dough onto the sheet, evenly spaced. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown.
  • Let cookies set for 5 minutes before serving. Grab a glass of milk and enjoy!
