- Place gluten free flour, xanthan gum, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a medium bowl then mix well.
- Use an electric food mixer to whisk the cream cheese and melted butter together. Add brown sugar and caster sugar then mix for 2 minutes on medium speed. Add vanilla extract and egg yolks then mix well.
- Slowly add the dry flour mixture, mixing on low speed until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Cover the mix with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 190 degrees C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Remove cookie dough from fridge then let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Scoop 1 heaped tablespoon of cookie dough and place on prepared baking tray. Repeat with remaining mixture, placing the cookies 2cm apart as they will spread while they cook.
- Bake cookies for 11-13 minutes. They might look under baked but they will finish cooking while cooling. Remove from oven and let them sit for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
