Yep, those are the ones.  I just wanted to do a little more experimenting and to provide another tasty sweet treat for my gluten-free readers.  And for us gluten-gluttons, both of these cookies are so darn delicious we’d never even know they’re GF.  So if you have any GF folks in your family, here are some more cookies you can make that the entire family will enjoy.

After a morning of food gathering, sorting, boxing and delivering, we baked some cookies and enjoyed some more family time talking about what we did that day.  Grab a glass of milk and join us.

  1. I made these but used EnerG egg replacer for one egg (plus some extra water since the batter looked dry in the end, until it looked like in the photos) and for 1/2 cup of the sugar called for I used raw instead of light brown. Everything else was followed exactly, but the 1” balls didn’t spread at all in the oven… haha. Just thought I’d mention it……. in case anyone else does substitutions like this.

  2. I made these yesterday . . . but Instead of 1 hour in the fridge, it was in there for 2 days. I let it soften out of the fridge for a few hours but the texture was grainy. Is that due to being in the fridge too long?

    1. Hi Jennifer, I doubt that had anything to do with it. Unfortunately a grainy texture is often the nature of gluten-free depending on which flours are used. Rice flour is one of the most common and popular because it’s more neutral in flavor, but depending on which brand you use it can be grainy. Some brands grind their flour multiple times to get a finer texture, others do not. At the top of my head I don’t recall which ones are which but an online search will tell you which brands are best from that standpoint.

      1. Hi KImberly, is it possible to regrind the rice flour with a coffee grinder? AND another question: Can i freeze the dough for future use?

        1. Hi Jennifer, it certainly couldn’t hurt to try. I haven’t tried freezing it before, but theoretically it should work like any other cookie dough – though GF is more temperamental :)

  3. I’m delighted to hear that you are teaching your children to care for others. One of the huge things wrong with our country right now (IMO) is that too many people don’t care about others. Even if you weren’t actively encouraging participation, I can tell you that the example parents set with charitable giving would not be lost on your children. My parents didn’t teach us much (long story), but they always gave to charity, and it ended up coming naturally to my generation to do likewise. Kudos to you for teaching your children about what’s really important.

    1. Definitely, Susan. Example is the most powerful teaching tool we have. I’m grateful as well to have been raised by parents who were very giving and service-oriented. The happiest people I know are those who spend less time thinking about themselves and focus on helping others.
