Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
I was so excited when I was watching one of my favorite hosts, Alton Brown, on Food Network finally address the need for gluten free baking. Here's a recipe for gluten free chocolate chip cookies. Yum!

- Cook Time:
- 14 min
- Level:
- Easy
- Serves:
- 2 dozen cookies
8 ounces unsalted butter
11 ounces brown rice flour, approximately 2 cups
1 1/4 ounces cornstarch, approximately 1/4 cup
1/2-ounce tapioca flour, approximately 2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 ounces sugar, approximately 1/4 cup
10 ounces light brown sugar, approximately 1 1/4 cups
1 whole egg
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
11 ounces brown rice flour, approximately 2 cups
1 1/4 ounces cornstarch, approximately 1/4 cup
1/2-ounce tapioca flour, approximately 2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 ounces sugar, approximately 1/4 cup
10 ounces light brown sugar, approximately 1 1/4 cups
1 whole egg
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottom medium saucepan over low heat. Once melted, pour into the bowl of a stand mixer.
In a medium bowl, sift together the rice flour, cornstarch, tapioca flour, xantham gum, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
Add both of the sugars to the bowl with the butter and using the paddle attachment, cream together on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the whole egg, egg yolk, milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator until firm, approximately 1 hour. Shape the dough into 2-ounce balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 cookies per sheet. Bake for 14 minutes, rotating the pans after 7 minutes for even baking. Remove from the oven and cool the cookies on the pans for 2 minutes. Move the cookies to a wire rack and cool completely. Store cooked cookies in an airtight container.

Bodacious Broccoli Salad
My mom has been making this salad for years, and we have made many adaptations over the years. It is so easy to substitute to your taste or what you have in the fridge. It is great as a side and wonderful to take to pitch-ins and other functions. I know this has shown up at a lot of swim meets and family holidays!

Rice Raper Rolls
I love these because they are so simple and so good. They are a great way to use up those veggies that need eating, or any leftover meat. They are versatile and you can put almost anything in them. I'm giving a few combinations I like, but go get creative with your own ideas! These are great to make with kids too.
What you need:
2. Cut or grate ingredients into bite size pieces.
3. Put lukewarm water onto plate.
4. Soften the rice paper in the lukewarm water for 10-30 seconds, or until soft and slightly sticky.
5. Move your rice paper to another plate and fill with ingredients.
6. Roll your rice paper up to make a neat package.
7. Enjoy!
Here are some combinations of ingredients I like:
What you need:
- rice paper (I like the round ones for this. They are available at some grocery stores, or at your local Asian stores)
- a plate of lukewarm water for softening the paper
- any veggies, herbs, leftover meat, fruit slices, even cooked rice or rice noodles
- dipping sauce of your choice (you can buy these already made or go online and find a recipe)

Soft & Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
I got this recipe off of http://www.celiac.com/. These cookies are wonderfully chewy and taste better than any other oatmeal raisin cookie I've ever had! It is my family's new favorite too! The full article is at: http://www.celiac.com/articles/21537/1/Gluten-Free-Oats-YES-Chewy-Yummy-Oatmeal-Raisin-Cookies-Gluten-Free/Page1.html
Enjoy!
Soft & Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Cream the sugars and butter until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and thoroughly incorporate into the batter. Stir in the vanilla last.
In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients (except oats), mixing well. Stir into the creamed mixture until integrated. Stir in the oats and raisins. Cover the bowl and chill until cold, at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 F for static ovens or 325 F for convection.
Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place at least 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes, or until lightly brown. If you can wait, let them cool on a wire rack before removing.
*Note: Not all people with celiac disease can include oats in their diets. For more information on whether they are appropriate for your diet please see our Celiac Disease and Oats section.
**If you do not have baking raisins on hand, gently boil ½ cup of raisins in a saucepan with enough water to cover them. Drain, then add to your recipe.
