As a resourceful baker, I decided to make up a batch of ‘Gluten-Free Peanut Butter, Brown Rice Flour, Oats and Chocolate Chip Cookies’ this morning using what we had on hand in the pantry, and loved the result! 🙂

I rarely follow recipes very closely, adding this and that into the mix to experiment and engage my baking creativity, so today I just decided to go rogue and make something up from scratch – here’s the ingredient list I used, just combine together:

• 2 eggs
• 2/3 cup of light brown sugar
• 1 and 1/4 cups of white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1 and 1/3 teaspoon of baking soda
• 2 cups of smooth peanut butter
• 1 and 1/2 cups of brown rice flour (ground myself in a coffee grinder, but I recommend a commercially processed product for a finer consistency)
• 1 cup of oat flour (pulsed myself in a food processor, which works perfectly well for me)
• 1 cup of rolled oats
• Approximately 1/3 bag of chocolate chips (enough for 2 chocolate chips per cookie)
• A pinch of salt
• 1/3 cup of water (the dough was very stiff, so I added water to moisten it)

I used a 1″ cookie scoop to portion out the dough, added 2 chocolate chips and gently pressed down on each cookie, and then baked the cookies for 11 minutes at 350 degrees.  This batch made 83 delicious 2″ cookies ~ enjoy! ☼ 🙂
