Notes
- Use cold butter. Softened butter and melted butter will yield cookies that spread a lot while baking.
- Beat the butter and sugars until no clumps of butter remain. Any clumps of butter in the dough will melt and run in the oven.
- Both gluten free 1 to 1 flour and all purpose flour can be used.
- Use your favorite brand and type of chocolate chips.
- Do not over bake these cookies. Once the edges are lightly golden and the middles look just barely set, remove from oven. Cookies will firm up slightly while cooking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Cookies freeze very well!
