Espresso Chocolate Chippers

I enjoyed the results of using rice flour in the Chocolate Chippy Cakes so much, that I decided to try some cookies made with rice flour. Guess what? It works well in cookies too. The rice flour creates a different textured cookie than the typical Nestle’s Toll House chocolate chip cookie, but the results are delicious. A great alternative for those on a gluten free diet, these cookies are soft and chewy and full of chocolate and espresso flavor. They are also suitable for vegans if made with egg replacer and Enjoy Life chocolate chips. I only found one problem with these…they are hard to resist, especially when they are warm!

    Those cookies look amazing, and wheat doesn’t always work well with my stomach, so this is just perfect!
