Bog with The World's Best Gluten Free Cookies

Bog

My Wife laughs at me when I drink these but I'll take it as long as I can drink this at Christmas time to take the edge off.

Baileys & Cream Liquor (or a cheaper counterfeit version)

Egg nog

Whipped cream (optional)

Pour into glass. Ratios depend on your taste.
Top with whipped cream.

Enjoy.

World's Best Gluten Free Cookies

There are many ways that these cookies can be made. I like to have them more cake-like, but, with a slight adjustment,  you can make them chewy and flatter.

1/2 Stick of butter

1/3 cup of vegetable oil

1 Teaspoon of vanilla

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup of sugar.

1/2 cup of brown sugar

1/4 cup of flaxx flour (for cake-like cookies) 1/2 cup for chewy and flatter cookies

1 3/4 cup of brown rice flour (for cake-like cookies) 1 cup for chewy and flatter cookies

1/2 cup of chopped nuts (or more)

1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips (or more)

1/2 cup dried fruit (optional)

Peheat oven to 350˚

Soften the butter in a microwave and use electric mixer to blend with vegetable oil, vanilla  and egg.

Mix in baking soda and salt.

Mix in sugars

Hand stir in the flours

Hand stir in the chocolate chips and any other enhancements.

Drop rounded teaspoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet, at least 2" apart.

Bake until light brown for no more than 8 minutes  (or to your preferred texture) 

Cool slightly before removing them from cookie sheet and place on cooling rack or in your mouth if you're impatient.

Enjoy, A
