**Gluten-Free Girl Scout Cookie**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup shredded coconut
– 1/4 cup caramel bits
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and caramel bits until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least an inch apart.
8. Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
10. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
