Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

This is one of the easiest recipes I have. Everyone likes chocolate chip cookies right? I use the Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe on the back of the package.  However...

Use brown rice flour instead of the all purpose flour, and add one teaspoon of xanthum gum.

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups brown rice flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp xanthum gum
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs
2 cups (12oz package) semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375. Follow the instruction on the back of the package like normal.


For best results, chill the dough before rolling it into balls. I find that if I don't chill the dough, the cookie will flatten out and all of the chocolate chips will be left in the middle of the cookie.
OR
Make Cookie Bars, my husband's preference. All you do is follow the directions like above, same ingredients etc. but bake it in a tin 9x13 pan. Again, follow the directions on the back of the package. 

I told you it was easy!!

  1. Karen, tell people where the best stores are to locate the flours and the Xanthum.
    I've found the Xanthum at Fred Meyer stores in the health food section, are there other stores that carry it as well?
