Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl sift together dry ingredients (flour through guar/xanthan gum). Stir to combine.
In another large bowl combine the remaining ingredients (butter through optional cream cheese). Whisk until smooth.
Pour wet ingredients into dry. Mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Cover and place your cookie batter into the fridge to chill for at least one hour (or until ready to bake).
Preheat oven to 350°F. Using tablespoon rounds, place your dough on your prepared cookie sheets until you have approx. 24/ 2 dozen cookies. Optionally, sprinkle with a bit of sea salt.
Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until bottoms and edges are turning golden.
