Yana’s Oatmeal Yummies (Gluten Free)
½ c. sorghum flour
½ cup sweet rice flour
½ c. rice flour
1 t. xanthan gum
1 t. baking powder
¼ t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
2/3 c. oats
½ c. butter
2 eggs, plus one yolk
2/3 c. sugar
¼ c. brown sugar
2 t. vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together dry ingredients; set aside. In a large bowl, mix together butter, sugars, vanilla, and eggs; plus egg yolk. Slowly blend the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, until combined. If the batter is too sticky, add a little more rice flour. Don’t make the dough too stiff, as this will not allow the cookies to rise, and be fluffy. (Gluten free cookie dough can vary in consistency. It depends on the brand of flours you are using. Some rice flours are ground finer than others. I use rice flour from the Asian market, as it is ground very fine, and has a wonderful texture.) Drop batter by tablespoons, onto a greased cookie sheet. (I like to use the Pampered Chef baking stone.) Bake 12 to 14 minutes, or until the cookies are light brown, and puffy. Allow the cookies to cool a bit before removing them from the pan; about two minutes. Cool completely. Store in a sealed container.
Enjoy!
As if she wasn't sweet enough...
Yep, that just melts my heart.
Cheering you on & checking the fuel gauge,

Thanks for the cookies! I hadn't seen her note to you, her poem cracks me up!
ReplyDeleteI think I have a little poet.
You are kidding? I thought for sure you helped her write that. You certainly do have a talented poet. Tell her that I will always keep the little card, it just made me SMILE. I know that you guys aren't gluten free, so I would be happy to help her make these someday. Who knows? Maybe wheat flour will work? If not, we have plenty ingredients on hand here. It would be fun to cook with a Yana. After all, we are the best cooks in the world. ;)
