Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies (Chestnut flour)

I've always loved Millie's cookies and so decided to try and come up with a gluten free version. These cookies are soft and I love the taste the chestnut flour gives.  You could try this recipe with different flour and I would think that you would still get a good result.

Ingredients:

• 125g butter (soft)
• 100g light brown sugar
• 125g caster sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp xantham gum
• 1 tsp baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• 225g flour (I used 125g chestnut and 100g of a supermarket GF plain flour blend)
• 200g chocolate (chunks)

Method:

• Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Cream the butter and sugars together
• Mix in the egg
• Add the gum, baking powder, salt and flour and mix well.
• Add in the chocolate chunks and mix until well distributed.
• If the mixture is too thick add a splash of milk

• Line a baking sheet and spoon the mixture into blobs to the size you want but do not flatten the mixture.

• Bake in the oven until the cookies just start to brown.
