Gluten Free Cookies

We like to make treats on sundays for family movie nights. We were out of normal all purpose flour, and butter. I borrowed butter from a friend, and decided to use the Gluten free flour I had in my pantry from some time ago when I thought I was allergic to Gluten, because of some stomach problems.

I followed a normal recipe for chocolate chip cookies, and used the Gluten Free flour from Red Mills, instead of the normal flour. I tasted the batter and choked...this was not a normal cookie batter. I read the suggestions on the flour package and it said to use Xanthum Gum. The only one I had was also gluten free. I decided maybe it will taste better once I bake it.  WRONG!!!!  It was so so gross.  I dumped the 3/4 cup of the milk chocolate chip cookies in the batter, and had nothing to show for it. The Bills  definitely don't do good with alternates to sweets, especially my husband. His face when he tasted the cookie, no joke, looked like a 3 year old boy who has just been told Batman wasn't real, and he said " that's the worst thing that's ever happened to me" ( of course exaggerating with that statement).  Well were will defiantly be redoing cookies today for FHE ( family home evening) with normal flour. It tasted as bad as it looks. I tossed both the dough and the made cookies. Sad attempt for the Bills Household!
