Add one egg at a time to the creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition.

Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the mixture.

Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of gluten-free flour to the mixture, checking the thickness before adding more flour.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the mixture and stir well.

Add the remaining gluten-free flour as needed, up to 2 cups total, until the dough reaches the desired consistency.

Fold in 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips gently to avoid pulverizing them.

Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 10 minutes, checking at 9 minutes for doneness.

Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack or directly on a stone countertop.
