Tasty Little Gluten Free Cookies

I kind of made these by mistake, I wasn't too sure what I was about to make and just started playing. I had a bit of brown rice flour and wanted to add something to it to give it more substance and a nicer flavour. I find brown rice flour to be a bit overpowering in cookies if it is the only flour used plus it tends to be a bit dry and crumbly. I had some almonds and thought that would be the perfect match and would make the cookies gluten free. I am doing a cleanse right now and these cookies are actually cleanse friendly, in my professional opinion anyway. ADDED NOTE SINCE PUBLISHING. (I forgot to say minus the chocolate and should have elaborated on what kind of cleanse. I guess I was in a hurry. The cookies are good for first time cleansers that are doing a gentle cleanse and are having a hard time completely changing their diet. They are feeling deprived and really stressed out because of the food restrictions. The stress of that is worse than having some sort of sweet. Although these are not ideal for people that are doing a stronger and deeper cleanse they are much better than falling off the cleanse wagon and binging on some unhealthy foods. I have found that happens a lot. Someone does a cleanse feels very deprived and either fights their way through it and then goes out for burgers and beer or doesn't make it to the end. I hope that clarifies things. )

I also wanted a super easy and super quick cookie recipe. It's perfect for those of you with little time. The prep is less than 10 minutes, actually in 10 minutes you can make the batter, spoon it onto a baking tray, put it in the oven and clean up the dishes. That is less time than it takes to drive to the store and buy some cookies plus with the price of gas it is probably cheaper too. If you add the chocolate that will take another 5 minutes.

Here is the recipe for these tasty little morsels.

1 cup brown rice flour

3/4 cup almond flour (you can grind raw whole almonds in a coffee grinder)

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/3 cup melted butter or extra virgin coconut oil

1/4 cup honey

1 egg, whisked

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup organic chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350

Mix dry ingredients.

Pour in all wet ingredients and mix well. The dough is pretty wet and gooey.

Drop tbsp of dough onto a baking stone or parchment paper on a baking sheet.

Bake for 13-15 minutes until just starting to brown.

Melt chocolate in a double boiler or in a bowl placed in a pot of simmering water.

When the chocolate is melted dip cookies half in.

Allow the cookies to cool and enjoy every bite!
