Notes

If you use a different flour blend, I cannot guarantee that your results will be the same.  Every gluten free flour blend is very different. Some flour blends don't brown well either, so checking when it is done will also be based on different things.  
If your flour blend has xanthan gum in it, do not add more.  I don't like blends with xanthan gum in them as they often have too much for cookies in my opinion.
For dairy free, substitute a dairy free butter and use Guittard semi-chocolate dairy free chocolate chips.
