We really like these. I used 3/4 cup brown rice flour, and 3/4 cup gluten free flour mix (rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch) I also used flax seed egg replacer. Thank you for posting this great, forgiving recipe. I used mini chocolate chips (2/3 cup) and would use 1/2 cup next time.

I recently found out that I can't handle gluten, and having a sweet tooth I thought I was going to die! Luckily I found this recipe. However I used real butter, and 1/4 cup of white sugar and 1/4 cup of brown-using brown sugar creates a chewier cookie. I also used Bob's Red Mill GF flour. They turned out very yummy and even my sceptic boyfriend liked them :)

Loved it! They actually come out as cookies! This beats buying a premade mix. Some changes i made due to other dietary restriction or b/c of what i had on hand: 1/2C of applesauce instead of the egg - Added 1/2 tsp of guar gum - used Bobs Red Mill Flour - shortening in place of the margarine. Still came out wonderful! Next time, I'll cut out the guar gum to see if its really necessary. I'll also try out an oil instead of the shortening. Thanks for a great recipe!
