Chocolate Chip Cherry Cookies (G-Free)

These cookies are super good and a healthy (sort of) snack! Well, healthier. You can use any kind of dried fruit with this, and any kind of chocolate. It's fun and easy to make, and it's a nice gift for friends, family, or even new neighbors!

Ingredients:

1 cup softened butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups G-Free flour
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup dried cherries (optional)
1 tsp xanthum gum

Method:
Mix the butter in a large mixing bowl with the brown sugar, granulated sugar, xanthum gum and baking soda. Mix on medium high until combined, scraping the sides occasionally. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much G-Free flour as you can, then add the rest after mixing for a bit. Stir in chocolate and dried fruits or nuts, if desired. Round the dough and drop it on an greased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart from each other. Put in the oven at 375 degrees for 8-10 min per batch. Once you've removed them from the oven, let the cookies rest on the cookie sheet for about two minutes before putting them on a wire rack to cool.

Nully's Tips:
DON'T DO A HALF-WAY JOB! Half-way jobs look sloppy, can be dangerous, and with cooking, not taste as good. If you don't have an ingredient, try to improvise. Use something close enough to it so that it doesn't taste like a half-way job. Example: if a recipe called for wheat, and you're allergic to wheat, use G-Free flour, like I've been doing!
