Ingredients
7/8 cup (1 cup minus 2 Tbsp) One Degree Organics Sprouted Brown Rice Flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp xanthan gum (optional but prevents spreading)
7 Tbsp vegan buttery spread, at room temperature
6 Tbsp cane sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Zest from 1 orange
1 Tbsp orange juice
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. In medium bowl, combine rice flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder and xanthan gum. In a large bowl, cream together the buttery spread and sugar. Add the extract, zest and juice and stir to combine. Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. On a well-floured surface, roll out dough to ¼” thick. Cut cookies using a cookie cutter (or thin rimmed glass) and transfer to prepared baking sheet with a spatula. Chill for 20 minutes. Bake until edges are lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool completely on pan.
Melt chocolate chips in microwave or over a water bath. If chocolate if very thick, you can thin it out with 1 tsp coconut oil. Dip half of each cookie in chocolate and transfer to a wire rack to set.
