WEMP Free Chocolate Chip cookies

So, I'm using another recipe from The Food Allergy Mama's Baking Book...but again, tweaking it b/c of the wheat allergy.

WEMP Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:
2/3 cup dairy free shortening
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup wheat-free all-purpose flour mix
3/4 tsp xanthum gum
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup dairy-free mini chocolate chips (Enjoy Life Brand!)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using a large mixer, combine shortening, brown sugar, sugar, applesauce, and vanilla, until well blended. In small bowl, combine flour, xanthum gum, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture and mix until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
2. Use a cookie scoop to place batter onto stone baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
