Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Vegan and gluten free, not to mention quite healthful!

The rice flour could be changed to another flour; the sugar could probably be lowered a little without sacrificing texture.

1/4 c. boiling water
1/2 c. evaporated cane juice (or sugar of your choice)
1 c. almond flour (pulverize 1 c. almonds in a coffee grinder)
1 t. vanilla extract
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. baking soda
1/4 t. cinnamon
1/2 c. brown rice flour
1/4 c. Oat flour (pulverize 1/4 c. oats in a coffee grinder)
3/4 c. Rolled oats*
3/4 c. Chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350. Mix the water and sugar well; add almond flour and vanilla and stir very well. Mix the salt, soda, cinnamon, and flours, and add to the wet ingredients. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips. Roll in to balls about 1.5" diameter and place on a cookie sheet. Take a flat-bottomed glass, dip it in a bowl of water, and give each dough ball a good push down to flatten them. Bake for about 8 minutes, until the cookies look a little brown and dry. Gently slide a spatula under them immediately, and let cool. Makes about 12-15 cookies.
