Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yum
Hey everyone, I am still here.  I have recipes to post, just not time enough to do it as often as I'd like.  But, I thought I would at least post what we made my husband for Father's Day, classic chocolate chip cookies.  Enjoy!


Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup dairy-free margarine, softened (or palm oil shortening, butter, etc.)
2 cups brown sugar or coconut sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 eggs
2 3/4 cup GF flour blend
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Mega Chunks
1 1/2 cups Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Mini Chips

Directions
Preheat oven to 375F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.  In a mixing bowl, cream together margarine and brown sugar.  Add in vanilla and eggs.  In a separate bowl combine the flour blend, salt, and baking powder.  Mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture, then add in the chocolate chips.

Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto prepared sheets and bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.  Allow the cookies to sit a few minutes on the warm cookie sheet before removing and cooling completely on cooling racks.
