yummy gluten free cookies

[kareina]

Since we've got a friend who can't have gluten coming over on Thursday for gaming & food I decided to experiment and tossed some stuff into a bowl to make some cookies that she could eat, but that clovis_t would also like. He's pronounced them a success, and this batch is unlikely to surrive till Thursday, so I'd best obtain more rice flour between now and then...



Gluten-free almond & coconut biscuits

50 grams butter
¼ cup caster sugar
pinch salt
1 medium egg
1 ¼ cups almond meal
¼ cup rice flour
½ cup fine shredded coconut

Cream the butter and sugar, add the egg and salt and beat well, beat in half of the almond meal, then beat in the rice flour, and add remaining almond meal a bit at a time, followed by the coconut stopping at a very soft dough. Roll into balls and bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 150 C for 7 to 10 minutes.


(My apologies to folks in the US for using untranslated Australian measuring systems--the butter happened to come in a 100 gram packet, and I used half of it--it looked somewhat kinda-sorta like 1/4 cup, more or less, but I didn't measure it. I'm also guessing at the size of the egg--our hens don't seem to lay eggs as large as the "normal" store variety, but they sure do taste better!)

I think I printed out a copy of this when you first posted it. I haven't made them yet, but perhaps I'll give it a try. I don't care for coconut, but plenty of other people like it.
