These cookies resemble oatmeal cookies, but they are crispier and have a unique taste. They don't contain any wheat, gluten, common headache triggers, milk or eggs. They're a nice treat for someone on a restrictive diet like mine, but I think they'll appeal to others too. (It didn't take long for my husband to ask for a second one, and he can eat anything.) I've only made this recipe at high altitude (5200 feet), so you'll have to test my low altitude suggestions.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup tahini (or peanut butter, if your diet allows)
1 1/4 cups rice flour (reduce to 1 cup if not high altitude)
7/8 cup quinoa (like delicate oatmeal, reduce to 3/4 c if not high altitude)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine first four ingredients; mix until creamy.
3. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well.
4. Spoon rounded teaspoonfuls of batter onto cookie sheets.
5. Bake for 10 - 14 minutes, or until they start to turn golden brown.
