I LOVE cookies! My new friend Skyller loves them, too. The only problem is, she’s allergic to wheat. So, these cookies are for Skyller:
AUNT MELISSA’S WHEAT-FREE COOKIES
½ cup butter
½ c. brown sugar
½ c. white sugar
1 cup rice flour
¼ cup corn flour
½ t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
1 t. fresh minced ginger
1 egg
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup sliced dried fruit (today I used dates and apricots)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream softened butter and sugars with an electric mixer. Add egg, then flours, soda, baking powder and ginger and vanilla (mixing after each addition. Next, on low speed, add oatmeal, followed by coconut, almonds and dried fruit, incorporating well after each addition (but don’t over mix).
Drop by spoonfuls (I like to use a spring action scoop for melon balls for this). Bake for 8-12 minutes in preheated oven until golden.
Enjoy!

Hi Melissa!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you knew this, but I wanted to post this little tidbit, just in case it applies to any of the readers of your delicious blog. Oftentimes oats can contain gluten. This is fine for those who are only allergic to wheat, but if a person has celiac disease, it could be a problem. You can purchase gluten-free oats, or sometimes you can call the manufacturer and they'll have more information. ...just a little allergy fact.

Good to know, Willow! Thanks!
