Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten-Free)

Serves 30 · 25 minutes

| Desserts These gluten-free chocolate chip cookies use sweet rice flour, also known as glutinous rice flour. Don't be fooled by the name; there's no gluten in glutinous rice flour (or any rice flour, for that matter). This flour, like most gluten-free flours, is easy to find if an Asian grocery can be located. It can also be found in many boutique grocery stores, such as Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. Other gluten-free flours may be substituted, but be prepared to adjust the amount of flour needed to compensate for variations in starchiness. It should go without saying, for any household coping

Ingredients

½ cup (1 stick / 120 ml) butter
½ cup (120 ml) white granulated sugar
½ cup (120 ml) brown sugar
2 ea. (100 g) eggs
½ tsp vanilla extract
1¼ cup (300 ml / 1 cup + 2 tablespoons) sweet rice flour

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

In a smaller mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and continue mixing.
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.
Fold in the chocolate chips.

Put cookie dough in the fridge for 30–40 minutes or into the freezer for 10–20 minutes.
