- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
- In medium bowl whisk together flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

- Add both sugars and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Stopping once to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add eggs and vanilla, beat until smooth.
- Add flour mixture until combined evenly.
- Add chocolate chips and nuts (if using). Beat until combined.
- Cover and refrigerate letting cookie dough rest for 30 minutes or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Make dough balls using a small portion scoop. My preference is the 1½ tablespoon size.
- Place cookies on a cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart. Bake for 11-13 minutes until golden brown and the edges are set.

- Store in air tight containers for maximum freshness.
Notes
*I've made this cookie recipe with both my EGFG flour blend and my Cookie Flour Blend with very similar results.
EGFG flour blend: 300g sweet rice flour, 300g potato starch, 200g sorghum flour, 200g millet flour (makes ~8 cups)
Cookie Flour Blend: ⅔ cup brown rice flour (90g), ¼ cup almond flour (25g), 3 tablespoon potato starch (30g), 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoon tapioca starch (15g), ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum. For a double and quadruple recipe of this flour click the link to see the full post.
Baking Tip: Rotate cookie sheet half way through baking time if your oven browns the cookies unevenly.
