gluten less cookies

You know what else helps?  COOKIES

I know, it hasn't snowed yet, but there has been cause for cookies around here.  This was my first real attempt at cookies sans gluten, and I must say I was very happy with the results.  Adapted slightly from the recipe here, which was just a bit fancy for my taste.

You need:

• 1 stick of butter, softened
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup raw sugar (optional)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1 cup brown rice flour
• 1/2 cup amaranath flour
• 1/4 cup tapioca starch
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup chocolate chips or peanut butter M&Ms (YES)

What to do:

1. Cream together the butter and sugars.  Add vanilla and egg, mix well.
2. Add your dry ingredients, mix well. 
3. Fold in chocolate of your choice.
4. Put dough on a piece of parchment paper, and using the paper roll into a log 12 in long, 2 in thick.
5. Refrigerate for at least an hour, this helps!
6. Preheat oven to 350F, then cut your log into 1/2 in discs.
7. Place on prepared cookie sheet (re-use your parchment paper), 2 in between each cookie.
8. Bake for 10 minutes.  Let cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then cool the rest of the way on a plate.
9. Or just eat them right away!  Hooray cookies!
