GFCF Chocolate Chip Cookies
2/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup GFCF margarine (I use Nucoa)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 3/4 cups GFCF flour (I use mix of 1/2 rice and 1/2 sweet (glutinous)rice
1 1/2 tsp xanthum gum
1 tsp soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 - full bag (depending on preference) of Enjoy Like GFCF mini chocolate chipsHeat oven to 375 Mix shortening, sugars, eggs and vanilla thoroughly. Add dry ingredients. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto a parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Bake 12 minutes.
Couple of Notes:
I buy my rice flour at the Asian market - much cheaper.
It works really great to make up a bunch of these mixes at the same time. I put all of the dry ingredients in a zip lock freezer bag with all the wet ingredients written on the bag with a sharpie marker and the baking temp and time. These can just be stored in the cupboard. I even hauled several of these "cookie mixes" with me on our recent trip to Branson. We had fresh baked cookies several times while we were there. The relatives didn't even know they were eating "weird food.”

Granola Bars that picky eaters like!
Crust:
- 4 cups nut flour (I used a blend of 2 cups almond and 2 cups walnuts, you can play around with what blend you like. Many use straight almond flour for the entire mix.)
- 1/3 cup margarine (I use coconut oil)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup honey
- cinnamon may be good to add - I haven't tried it yet but plan to with my next batch.
Mix all ingredients well. flatten on (2) greased 9 x 13" pans. Bake at 300 until golden brown.
Cool Filling:
- 1 lb. pitted dates
- 1/3 cup water
Put dates and water in a covered oven-safe pan and bake in the oven until soft. This takes about 15" minutes in a 350 oven. Stir occasionally while in oven. Heat in oven until thick. Cool. Spread date on top of one of the pans. Then I take a spatula and break of a spatula size square from the other pan and place on top. Then I break those squares in half and it is the size of a small granola bar. This makes a nice soft textured bar. These can also be made into cookies by just rolling the crust into balls and flatten into cookie shapes with the back of a butter teaspoon. Cooking, then cooling then spreading the cooled date filling and covering with another cookie. I make my nut flour by just buying the nuts and then throwing them in the food processor. We are trying to avoid all grains so it is a good alternative.
Some variations I am experimenting with are:
Strawberry - Rhubarb Filling
- 2 cups diced rhubarb
- 2 cups quartered strawberries
- 3/4 cup honey (or 1 cup sugar)
- 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped ginger, vanilla bean or seed
In sauce pan over medium heat, place fruit and sugar. Cook until tender 8-10 minutes. Add vanilla seeds or ginger (Can also serve on waffles. I take a cookie from the above recipe and make a pie and use the cookie as the crust for him)
