Week 3 - Chocolate Chip Cookies

What kid doesn't love chocolate chip cookies? I mean really? They are so good! (By kid I mean anyone between the ages of 2 and 200) Now I know that to a certain extent we should be about living healthily. We should be taking the opportunity this drastic life change has given us to become more health conscious in general. For the most part I agree with that sentiment. But everyone needs a cookie jar. Cookies are food for the soul. When you have just had a horrible day a great cookie can lift your spirits. I'm not saying go eat 12 of these. But one or two really won't hurt. I promise. I ate 3 and I am fine. 

These cookies are great. They are soft and light. They make fantastic cookie cake. They have that pillowy quality that everyone tries for but you usually only manage it by accident. I really really like these cookies.

What you'll need:
1c (4 oz) Butter 
2oz White Sugar 
2 oz Brown Sugar 
2 large eggs 
1 tsp vanilla 
3 oz sorghum flour 
3 oz millet flour 
2 oz tapioca flour 
2 oz oat flour 
2 oz cornstarch 
1 tsp xanthan gum 
2 tsp baking powder 
1/2 tsp salt 
2 c ish chocolate chips

In your mixer cream together your butter and both sugars until everything is light and airy.

Slowly incorporate eggs and vanilla until thoroughly mixed.

In a separate bowl mix sorghum flour, millet flour, tapioca flour, oat flour, cornstarch, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Either whisk or sift until the dry ingredients become one.

Turn your mixer on low and add your dry ingredients to your wet in thirds. When everything is fully mixed fold in your chocolate chips.

Roll out cookie size pieces and then flatten them (these cookies do not "spread" very much) to your desired thickness. (mine were about 1/2")

Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes

If you would like to make a cookie cake roll out your dough to the desired size and shape then bake at 350 for closer to 20 minutes. 

Let cool, pour yourself some milk, and enjoy!

Happy eating!
