GF Choc Chip Cookies- remix

I have tried a heck of a lot of gluten free cookies recipes and (besides my mom's coconut macaroons), these are my favorite so far.

DIRECTIONS

NOTE!  I could not alter the image, and I didn't want to re-type everything out because I have a life, but after eating lots of these cookies, I would reduce the salt to 1/4 tsp and I would also reduce the xanthan gum to 1 tsp.

Use standing mixer to beat egg, softened coconut oil, vanilla, and honey until smooth.

Add all dry ingredients. Mix on low. When almost combined, add coconut yogurt until reaches cookie dough consistency.

When combined, slowly mix in chocolate chips.

Bake at 350 approx 15 minutes.

It is an odd quantity, but the nutrition facts are based on using the ingredients to make 27 cookies, which is exactly how many my little cookie scoop made.
