Almost Mrs. Fields Gluten Free Cookies

These cookies are not low fat or low sugar.  But if you have been wanting a great chocolate chip cookie you will love these!!  I adapted the recipe from a cookbook I bought years ago called, "Women's Circle Home Cooking." Below is the original recipe on the left. The ingredients I used  is in blue to show you how I altered the recipe.

Gluten Free Rice Flour Mix:
Mix together 1 cup brown rice flour, 1 cup white rice flour, 1/2 cup tapioca flour, 1/2 cup potato starch, and 1 Tb xanthan gum. 

Directions:
In mixer or by hand, cream butter and sugars together; add eggs and vanilla. Mix well. With mixer on low add flour mix, salt, baking powder & baking soda. When combined slowly pour in oats. Mix well then stir in chips. Preheat oven to 375. Drop dough onto greased cookie sheet and bake for about 8 minutes. Do not over bake. Cookies will be slightly brown around the edges. If you want crisper cookies let completely brown. Cool on wire racks and store in an air tight container.
