Thin and Crunchy (or Chewy) Chocolate Chip Cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Add the buttery spread to a large bowl of a stand mixer. Add the sugar, brown sugar, water, and vanilla extract. Using the stand mixer (a hand mixer will work too), beat until creamy and well-combined, about 1 minute.
3. Add the All-Purpose Flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
4. Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture. Beat until a dough forms. It will be thick, but wet enough that it will slowly drop from a spoon. Stir in the Mini Chips.
5. Spoon heaping tablespoons of dough onto the pan, leaving about 4 inches between each one (they will spread).
6. For chewy cookies: bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until the edges are golden but the top is still slightly soft.
7. For crisp cookies: bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
8. Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely (or serve warm). They will become more crisp as they cool.
9. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, and any other leftovers to the freezer.
