Finally, chocolate chip cookies that taste like the real thing! We've been having "cookie wars" here. One recipe was made with quinoa flour- those I didn't like and these were made with rice flour. As I've said before, my dream is to have as part of the store a small bakery with cookies, muffins, breads etc... I can't wait to start seeing people come in and be able to have a fresh cookie and eat it right there! What a treat! Here's the recipe- I think it's a winner!
Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups of GF flour or white rice flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 sticks unsalted butter (room temp)
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (Check which ones are gf- I use Nielsen- Massey)
2 large eggs
2 cups chocolate chips (dark chocolate- enjoy life chips work well for multiple allergies)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk together flour, salt and baking soda.
Using an electric mixer, beat butter at medium speed until smooth and then add sugars and beat until blended. Beat in vanilla, then add eggs, one at a time. Reduce the mixer to low speed and add in the dry ingredients- a bit at a time. Using a spatula, blend in chocolate chips.
Spoon the dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the baking sheets- about 2 inches apart for each cookie. Bake for approximately 12 minutes, until the cookies are golden brown in the edges. they may be a little soft in the center. Allow the cookies to cool for a minute and then transfer them to cooling racks and let them cool at room temperature.
Enjoy!
On another note I tried a new product that I definitely feel is worth mentioning. You can order bagels- they are not baked- they come frozen and you bake them off. The website is: www.greatgfbakes.com . This is the first time that I can honestly say that this product tastes like a real bagel! They are chewy- just the right consistency. Now if I can find a form of yogurt cream cheese, I'd be all set! Being lactose intolerant is a bit of a drawback here, but the bagel was great toasted with butter. If anyone out there knows of a cream cheese (can't have soy either :( ) , please let me know.
On a final note, Happy Mother's Day to all!

Dear Gluten-free Grammie,
I discovered your blog through a comment you left of Gluten-free Girl's blog.
I tried your CCC recipe yesterday and I must thank you for it's the first time I have cookies since I have gone gluten free! They are really truly GOOD!
