BEST GFCF Chocolate Chip Cookies

I think I finally did it! First, I used this recipe  http://joythebaker.com/2012/08/dark-chocolate-pistachio-smoked-sea-salt-cookies/  but substituted the same amount of Pamela's Gluten Free Bread Mix for the wheat flour, and the cookies were perfect. Step two was to substitute the butter for coconut oil, and they were still great! If you are gluten-free, make sure to use GF vanilla or leave it out. Note: I still like them with butter a lot better--they puff up and crinkle down beautifully.

1/2 cup (1 stick)  unsalted butter, at room temperature OR 1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar (Trader Joe's Organic makes huge difference!)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar  (Trader Joe's Organic makes huge difference!)
1 flax egg (1 tbsp. ground flax + 3 tbsp. warm water) or 1 beaten egg
1 teaspoon GF vanilla extract (or omit)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (if you like hits of salt) or sea salt
1/2 to 1 1/2 cups Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips
Mix ins as desired (oatmeal, coconut, nuts, etc.)

You know what to do. :) If coconut oil was liquid, chill dough in the fridge for a while. Scoop onto parchment-lined cookie sheet, bake 8-10 minutes at 350. Don't overbake.
