Mesquite Flour Cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, mesquite flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set this aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

4. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated into the butter and sugar mixture.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

7. Shape and Bake: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon or your hand.

8. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remember that cookies will continue to set as they cool.

9. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve these delicious Mesquite Flour Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage for a delightful treat!
