Ingredients

Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat (yes, it makes a difference!).
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients:
-
1 cup Sorghum Flour or Brown Rice Flour
-
1 cup Ancient Harvest Quinoa Flakes
-
1/4 cup Organic Millet Flour
-
1 tablespoon tapioca starch
-
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
-
1/2 teaspoon Authentic Foods Vanilla Powder (or use 2 teaspoons bourbon vanilla extract)
-
Add in:
-
1 cup organic golden brown sugar
-
1/4 cup honey or Organic Raw Blue Agave
-
1 cup all natural unsweetened peanut butter (or Sunbutter)
-
1 tablespoon Ener-G Foods Egg Replacer whisked with 1/4 cup warm water till frothy
-
2-4 tablespoons rice milk or nut milk (start with less, add one spoon at a time)
-
Beat or stir the dough until all the ingredients are incorporated and you have a smooth, sturdy cookie dough that sticks together when you grab a piece and form a ball. It should not be wet or sticky. Add just enough rice milk until this occurs- start with one tablespoon at a time and add more slowly, as you need it to make the dough malleable.
-
Form the dough into 18 balls and place the balls of dough on the prepared baking sheet. Press down slightly to flatten just a bit- not too thin. Mine looked like domes.
-
Place the baking sheet into the center of a pre-heated oven and bake until firm and golden- about 20 to 25 minutes. They will appear slightly soft to a light touch, but firm in the center; they firm up more as they cool.
-
Do a test run if you like to determine exact baking time for your particular oven.
-
Cool cookies on a wire rack. Lovely warm from the oven.
-
Wrap by twos in foil for freezing in bags. Gluten-free baked goods stay fresher longer if you freeze them.
