Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

I see cookies on the shelves that claim "gluten-free" and what are they? Not cookies! They're dry, crumbling, sometimes gritty little pufs of powder! Well here's a recipe for soft, yummy, chocolate chip cookies just like when you were a kid!

What you'll need:

3 1/4 C. gluten free flour mix
1/2 tsp. xanthan gum
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. egg replacer
1 C. earth balance margerine
1 C. dark brown sugar
1/2 C. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 Tbsp. vanilla
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). In a medium bowl mix together flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, salt, and egg replacer; set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars; add eggs and vanilla then add dry ingredients until well mixed. Stir in the chocolate chips and drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes, cookies will not turn golden brown like other cookies but will be slightly brown around the edges. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the cookie sheets. This makes about 4 1/2 dozen cookies.
