Place a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line a 13×9-inch nonstick baking sheet with parchment paper.

Add the chickpea flour, xanthan gum, and salt and beat on low speed until well blended. Shape half of the dough into twelve 1 inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Flatten each ball to ½-inch thick by making criss-cross marks with the tines of a fork.
Bake until the cookies are lightly browned and firm, about 12 to 15 minutes. Cool the cookies on the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Transfer the cookies to the wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.

Makes 32 small cookies.
