- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dairy-free if preferred)

Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans (if using).
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
