Notes

*I've made this cookie recipe with both my EGFG flour blend and my Cookie Flour Blend. The jury is out whether one is better than the other.
EGFG flour blend: 300g sweet rice flour, 300g potato starch, 200g sorghum flour, 200g millet flour (makes ~8 cups)
EGFG Cookie Flour Blend: ⅔ cup brown rice flour (90g), ¼ cup almond flour (25g), 3 tablespoon potato starch (30g), 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoon tapioca starch (15g), ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum. For a double and quadruple recipe of this flour see my recipe post, Cookie Flour Blend.
Baking Tip: Rotate cookie sheet half way through baking time if your oven browns the cookies unevenly.
