Delicious Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies


I love sweets; cookies, cakes, cupcakes, doughnuts, it doesn't matter I love them all.  The worst part of eating gluten free is having to give up many of these sweets at my favorite restaurants.  My solution is trying to find homemade recipes to satisfy the void.  I recently found this chocolate chip cookie recipe and it has quickly become my go-to to satisfy my chocolate chip cookie craving.

  • 1 3/4 cups white rice flour
  • 3/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup plus 1 tsp tapioca flour

2.) Add the eggs, one at a time, beat on medium speed until fully incorporated.
3.) Combine flour, starch, baking soda and xanthan gum in a separate bowl.
4.) Gradually add the dry mixture into the bowl containing the wet ingredients. Beat on medium speed until fully combined.
5.) Turn mixer off, scrape bowl.
