For this recipe, you can try out your own personal favorite gluten-free rice flour. I have used half Sweet Rice (or sticky ricflour and half white rice flour. (If you do go with that blend, I would recommend using at least half the sweet rice flour because it will help the cookie stay together and not get crumbly like some gluten free baked goods tend to do.) My favorite flour to use in this recipe is my homemade Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend.

Combine the flour (or flours), baking soda, salt, and sugar in a bowl.

In a separate bowl combine the softened butter or shortening, eggs, and vanilla. I've tried both butter and shortening in this recipe and we much prefer the shortening. I use the Spectrum brand and get it from Azure.

Mix both of the bowls together well. The dough will be a little drier but you should be able to get it all combined. Add in the chocolate chips. Be sure and use dairy free chocolate chips if you need them. These Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips are our family favorite.

Roll into small balls and place on a greased cookie sheet. Pat down slightly before baking. Bake at 350F for about 12 minutes or until the sides of the cookies are slightly browned.
