chocolate chip crackle cookies

i'll make this short and sweet (haha punny) these cookies were one of my favorites before going gluten free but with just a few tweaks i made them just as delicious as i remember.

chocolate chip crackle cookies
1 cup brown rice flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup confectioners sugar (for rolling the dough in)

1. in a bowl sift together flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt.
2. using fingers blend in butter till the dough looks like coarse sand
3. stir in both the eggs and vanilla
4. add chocolate chips and stir until incorporated
5. spread dough in a thin layer along the sides of the bowl and pop into the freezer for 10 min to firm up the dough.
6. preheat the oven to 375
7. put powdered sugar in a bowl and once you get the dough out of the freezer take teaspoon sized dough balls and roll one by one in the powdered sugar until the dough ball looks completely covered and place on greased cookie sheet or parchment paper 2 inches apart.
8. bake for 7 to 8 min or until you see the chocolate peeking through the sugar.
