Ingredients

    1/2 cup brown rice flour
    1/2 cup white rice flour
    1/4 cup teff flour
    1/4 cup chickpea flour
    1/4 cup tapioca flour
    1/4 cup cornstarch
    1/2 cup ground pecans
    2 tsp guar gum
    pinch nutmeg
    1 tsp sea salt
    1 1/2 tsp baking powder
    3 tbsp ground flaxseed
    1/3 cup warm water
    1/3 cup butter, browned and cooled slightly
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/3 cup dark brown sugar
    1/4 tsp pure stevia powder
    1 dram (1 small bottle) LorAnn Oils butterscotch flavouring
    1/2 cup plain, low fat soy milk
    1/2 cup butterscotch chips

Directions


Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone.
Whisk together the dry ingredients (flours through baking powder). Set aside.
In a large bowl beat together flaxseed and water, then add butter, sugars, stevia, flavouring and soy milk.
Add the dry ingredients.
As you beat the dough pay close attention to the consistency – add liquid until you achieve a smooth but sturdy dough.
Stir in chocolate chips until combined (the dough is stiff).
Place 2" apart on lined sheets and flatten slightly.
Bake 12 minutes (they will still be slightly soft).
Cool on the sheets 15 minutes, then move to a wire rack.
The cookies will get crisper as they cool.
