To make these Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies, I started by dumping some Golden Crisco, light brown sugar and granulated sugar into a large mixing bowl.

I used an electric mixer to cream the ingredients together until no large lumps remained.

Then I added an egg, some almond milk and vanilla extract to the bowl.  

I used almond milk because I also try to avoid dairy whenever possible.  You can use dairy or another non-dairy alternative as well.

I continued mixing with the electric mixer.

Then I added some all Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend, salt, baking soda and xanthan gum to the bowl. 

I mixed with the electric mixer until all of the ingredients were fully combined.

Then I added some semi-sweet chocolate chips to the bowl.

I used a rubber spatula to stir the chocolate chips into the cookie dough.

Then I used a 1 tablespoon scoop to drop the cookie dough onto a non-stick baking sheet  leaving at least two inches between the balls.

I placed the baking sheet in the oven and baked the cookies until they were golden brown around the edges.

I removed the baking sheet from the oven and allowed the cookies to cool on the pan for a couple minutes.

Then I used a spatula to transfer them to a cooling rack to finish cooling off.

With their delicious chocolate chips and classic cookie flavour, you won't feel like you are missing out on traditional chocolate chip cookies. Bake a batch of Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies  whenever you need a simple gluten free dessert, or keep some in the freezer for a treat whenever the craving hits.
