Cookie Recipe when Rice-Free

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have a recipe for cookies when you can't use rice flour?

Just found out my son can't have rice anymore (bummer), so I'm even more

limited in what I can give him. He's also peanut and soy free.

Thanks!

Here's a couple:

1 1/2 c almonds or pecans

1/2 c coconut oil or 1 stick margarine.

1 c arrowroot

1/2 c sugar

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp almond extract

Place nuts in food processor and process to a fine meal. Add remaining

ingredients and process until well blended. Form dough into walnut-sized

balls and place on an oiled cookie sheet. Bake at 300 degrees for 20 min.

After 5 minutes in the oven, press cookies down lightly with a fork. Let

cool completely before removing to an air tight container. Store in

refrigerator. I added a little coconut milk to make it stick together

better.

Ginger Snaps

1/12 c almonds processed like above

1/2 c coconut oil

1 cup arrowroot

1/2 c sugar

1 tblsp water

1 1/2 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp cinnamon

1//2 tsp nutmeg

1//2 tsp ground cloves

1/2 tsp sea salt

Same directions as above.

Macaroons

4 egg whites

pinch salt

2 tbls arrowroot

1/2 cup maple syrup

1 tbls vanilla

2 c dried coconut meat, finely cut

Line a baking sheet with buttered parchment paper. Beat eggwhites with salt

in a clean bowl until the form still peaks. Beat in the arrowroot and slowly

beat in syrup and vanilla. Fold in coconut. Drop by spoonfuls on parchment

paper. Bake at 300 for about 1/2 hour or until lightly browned. Reduce oven

to 200 and bake another hour or so until macaroons are completely dry and

crisp ( I didn't do mine this long so they would be a little chewy) Let cool

completely before removing from parchment paper.
