Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) gluten-free flour blend (rice and tapioca flours recommended)
  • 2 tbsp (16g) cornstarch
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened (or dairy-free margarine/coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3 minutes until fluffy and light in color.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed or fold in by hand until just combined. The dough should be thick but pliable.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough using a spatula.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, rotating the trays halfway through baking, until edges are golden and tops are crisp.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not skip the cornstarch for crispness. Use softened butter, not melted. Avoid overmixing the dough. Cool cookies on a wire rack to maintain crispness. Chill dough for 30 minutes if cookies spread too much. Add a teaspoon of milk if dough feels too dry. Rotate baking trays halfway through baking for even cooking.
