There's a recipe on newdiets.com

http://newdiets.com/Desserts/Sugar_Cookies.shtml which uses sorghum and

corn starch. We haven't made it personally but my wife and son bake other

cookies using those two ingredients which come out nice and crisp. Plus

this recipe calls for chilling before rolling which probably helps alot in

holding its shape.

Charlene, we've been buying sorghum flour from Twin Valley Mills with

excellent results. They also contributed their sugar cookie recipe and

several others to the site. The only advice I'd give is that we bought a

ten pound order the first time but a 25 pound order more recently and for

our needs it's going to be worth the convenience in the future to stick to

the 10 pound orders. They cost just a little more that way per pound but

we've got this big bucket of sorghum flour sitting in our kitchen floor now

.

If you have a chest freezer though and enough containers then I'd go with

the bigger order and freeze what you're not using.
