Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 1/2 cups brown rice flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1/4 cup tapioca starch or oat flour or almond flour or whatever else is around
Rebecca also adds 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum, but I haven't got any (it costs a fortune), and the cookies are a bit crumbly and fragile as a result, but still yummy.
2 (yes, two) sticks of butter at room temp
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts (if you like) chopped
Mix the dry ingredients. Cream butter, add sugars and beat till fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and mix well. Stir in dry ingredients slowly, follow with the chocolate chips and nuts. Form dough with two spoons into the size you desire and space 2 inches apart on parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Carefully transfer cookies to a rack and cool. Get a big glass of milk (or soy milk) and dig in!
Rebecca's book is full of treats, like Sour Cream Coffee Cake, which I made last week, and it was YUM. Gluten-free does not mean deprivation anymore. It's all pleasure, no bloat!

gooooooooooooooooood cookies.
Well.. I may post a cookie recipe but guaranteed they wouldn't be gluten free. I have a hard enough time baking at high altitude with regular flour, can only imagine the troubles that might result rocking the boat. :)
Someone has been playing with their template. Like the peach color background.
boy cookies sure sound good. hmmmmmmm

I made her blueberry cake yesterday, Rebecca rocks.
THANKS GNOME! Gnome saves the cookie challenge from being a complete failure! (I know, that's what I get for not blogging for so long).
I could probably use a gluten reduction in my diet, so I might try these. Time to branch out into some new types of flour.
