Ingredients

  • ¾ cup shortening

  • ¼ cup butter, softened

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla

  • 2 ¾ cup Gluten-Free Flour Mix Recipe

  • 1 12 ounce package (2 cups) semisweet chocolate pieces

  • 1 ½ cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts (filberts), toasted if desired (optional)

Gluten Free Flour Mix

  • 3 cup white rice flour

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl beat shortening and butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt.

Beat in as much of the Gluten-Free Flour Mix as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour mix, the chocolate pieces, and, if desired, nuts.

  2. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until evenly browned. Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool.

Gluten Free Flour Mix
