Combine flour, baking soda, and guar gum in a medium sized bowl. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Beat butter, sugar, and vanilla until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add flour and beat till dough comes together**.
Mix in cherry chips and coconut flakes. Form into walnut-sized balls and flatten slightly. Place on cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
Bake in oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
Notes
*Please refer to Cheese and Bacon Biscuits post for the GF Flour Mix for Cookies.**Do not worry if dough seems to be loose and separate. Continue beating for about 2 to 3 minutes and it will come together to form a soft dough.
