White Chunk Cookies

These are crispy on the edges and chewy in the middle.


 You will Need:
2 -1/2 cups gluten free all purpose flour mix (Not a soy based brand, rice based works best)
*see note at bottom to make your own mix
2 tsp of Guar gum, unless it is included in your mix
* guar gum is a binder that can be found at any health food store, it replaces the gluten by helping to hold the flour together
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1 cup of softened butter or Olivio butter spread
3/4 cup of packed brown sugar
1/4 cup of white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon of almond extract
1 1/2 cups of white chocolate chips
1 cup of coconut
1/2 cup of thin sliced almonds crushed
1 cup of mini marshmellows

Cream together the butter and sugars, egg, and almond extract. Add baking soda and then add flour and salt. Lightly mix until blended (don't overmix) and then gently stir in chocolate chips, coconut, almonds, and marshmellow. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet and then bake 22-25 minutes at 300 degrees

To make your own flour mix: This will make 4 1/4 cups of flour

  • 2 1/4 cups brown rice flour
  • 1/4 cup potato starch
  • 2/3 cup tapioca flour
  • 3/4 cup sweet rice flour
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons xantham or guar gum

  2. They were great!! My boyfriend couldn't tell the difference and ate almost the whole batch LOL. The new rice based gluten free mixes are amazing...if the batter tastes good it's a great sign! Much different from Soy based mixes which I think personally are kinda yucky and don't have a flour like texture!
