Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer, cream together the butter, coconut sugar, pure maple syrup, and pure vanilla extract until well-combined.
  • Beat in the egg.
    Cream together the butter and sugar in a mixer until creamy
  • Add the gluten-free flour, baking powder, sea salt, and cinnamon (if you’re adding it). Turn the mixer on medium-high to high speed and beat until a thick dough forms. Add in the chocolate chips and beat until combined.

  • Refrigerate the dough at least 30 minutes before preheating the oven to bake.
  • When you're ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Drop dough onto a parchment-lined or sprayed baking sheet and bake for 8 to 11 minutes (I go with 9 minutes on the dot).

Notes
