These cookies use sweet rice flour, also known as glutinous rice flour.There’s no gluten in rice flour (or any rice flour, for that matter). This flour, like most gluten-free flours, is easy to find in a natural food store near you.
It should go without saying, for any household coping with celiac disease, that it is imperative to make sure all your ingredients, work surfaces, and utensils are free of gluten contamination. Special care should be taken with important ingredients such as baking powder; make sure its ingredients list does not include gluten-containing items such as modified food starch.
Ingredients
1/2 cup organic butter
1/2cup organic cane sugar
1/2 cup Sucanat(organic brown sugar)
2 organic eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup (1 cup + 2 tablespoons) sweet rice flour
1 tsp xanthan gum
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
Dark chocolate chips or cocoa nibs(desired amount)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
1.Mix the sweet rice flour, xanthan gum, baking powder and baking soda in a large mixing bowl.
2. In a smaller mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and continue mixing.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Don’t worry about over-mixing; since there is no gluten in the flour, there is no danger of overworking it.
4. Fold in the chocolate chips or cocoa nibs.
5. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper and spoon on balls of dough, about
1 1/2” in diameter.
6. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes to cool.
Very yummy dessert or snack for kids.
Enjoy!!!
