Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer or a wooden spoon, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.

Step 6

Fold the chopped walnuts into the cookie dough with a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the centers are set.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven, and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
