Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup salted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups instant "masa de maiz"
1 tsp baking soda
1 dash salt (optional)
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
one 12 oz bag (2 cups) real chocolate chips

Beat butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla until fluffy. Add masa, soda, and salt;
mix well. Stir in the nuts and chips.  Roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter
or slightly larger.  Bake on ungreased cookie sheets at 375 degree for about 10
minutes.  Allow to cool on cookie sheet for several minutes before you transfer
them to a rack to finish cooling. They will fall apart if you try to transfer
them too hot, and they will stick if you let them cool completely on the cookie
sheet.
