Mark's Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies - Made Gluten Free!

    Probably every kid has grown up loving chocolate chip cookies and milk.  These chocolate chip cookies are from my daughter-in-law's family reunion cookbook.  I have known her Uncle Mark since his childhood, and I have heard about his chocolate chip cookies. 

 Yesterday I halved the recipe (and that's what I printed below) and made some substitutions.  As you can see in the pictures, my grandkids love to help me bake.  We gave them the out of the oven taste test, and yes even though gluten free these are amazing cookies!

Mark's Famous Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

1.  Prepare dry ingredients - In a large bowl put:

(1)  1 cup rice flour, 1 cup sorghum flour, and 1 cup tapioca flour

(2)  Stir in 1 tsp. baking soda

2.  Cream butter and sugar - In a mixing bowl put:

(1)  1 cup of butter and  1 1/2 cups of sugar (half white and half brown) in a stand up mixer for 5 minutes.

(2)  Then add 2 eggs and 1 tsp. vanilla and cream until creamy about 2 minutes.

3.  Combine ingredients:  

(1)  Slowly add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture.

(2)  Stir in 12 oz of chocolate chips.

 

4.  Baking cookies:  Put 1 tablespoon of dough on a cookie sheet  (We rounded them into  balls and then flattened them a bit with the palm of our hand)

and bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Put on a wire rack to cool.
