I have a book called Vegetarian, which I got from Barnes and Nobles and there is one recipe for gluten free chocolate chip cookies using cornmeal and rice flour, but of course with egg.  Since I&#8217;m hosting the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.egglesscooking.com\/2009\/12\/10\/whole-grain-baking-event-corn\/\">Corn<\/a><\/strong> event this month, I thought that I should give that cookie recipe a try using an egg substitute.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span id=\"more-1681\"><br \/>\n<span style=\"float:left;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-8580655884330693\";\n\/* 300x250, created 12\/11\/09 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"3194220409\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"noPrint\">\n<p>I have already baked <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.egglesscooking.com\/2009\/01\/23\/best-chocolate-chip-cookies\/\">eggless chocolate chip cookies<\/a><\/strong> using EnerG egg replacer powder and was floored by the result.  So I decided to use EnerG in this recipe too.  I also had some brown rice flour along with whole cornmeal and that&#8217;s what I have used in this recipe.  I was really surprised (this is an understatement) that these <strong>gluten free cookies<\/strong> tasted as good as any other chocolate chip cookies.

Grease 2 baking sheets.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"step\">2<\/span> In a medium bowl, cream together the margarine and sugars until light and fluffy.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"step\">3<\/span> In a blender blend together the EnerG and warm water until its frothy.  Add this and vanilla extract to the creamed sugar mixture and beat it well.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"step\">4<\/span> Fold in the brown rice flour, whole cornmeal, baking powder, salt, chocolate chips and nuts (if using).  <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"step\">5<\/span> Drop tablespoonfuls of dough on the baking sheets leaving space between each cookie.  Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cookies are lightly browned.  I took out mine after 13 minutes.  If you are using a dark coating non stick pan, be alert as the bottoms tend to brown very quickly.  I used an aluminum pan, so mine took 13 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"step\">6<\/span> Place the baking sheets on cooling racks.  Let the cookies stand for 5 minutes.  Transfer the cookies to the wire rack using a spatula.  Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class='postTabs_divs' id='postTabs_1_1681'>\n<span class='postTabs_titles'><b><strong>Taste<\/strong><\/b><\/span>Take my word on this and bake these cookies as soon as you can.  You won&#8217;t believe that these are egg free and <strong>gluten free cookies<\/strong> also made with whole grain flours.  It tasted just like the usual chocolate chip cookies, crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle.  Since I couldn&#8217;t find fine grind whole cornmeal, I had to powder and sieve the medium grind cornmeal a couple of times before using.  Even then it was little gritty.  Otherwise there were no issues at all with this recipe.  I&#8217;m definitely making this again and again at least with the regular fine grind cornmeal available in the supermarket. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class='postTabs_divs' id='postTabs_2_1681'>\n<span class='postTabs_titles'><b><strong>My Notes<\/strong><\/b><\/span><span class=\"step\">1<\/span> Be sure to check that all the ingredients you are using is gluten free if you are baking these for gluten allergic people.  <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"step\">2<\/span> The original recipe uses regular cornmeal and white rice flour.  I have used whole cornmeal and brown rice flour to incorporate whole grains.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"step\">3<\/span> The ratio of EnerG and water given in the pack is 1 and 1\/2 teaspoons and 2 tablespoons of water.  The EnerG egg replacer powder I&#8217;m having is almost a year old.  So I wasn&#8217;t sure if it was good enough, so I increased it to 2 teaspoons and 3 tablespoons of water and this did not affect the cookies.  In fact the cookies came out very good, the shape, texture and taste was awesome.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"noPrint\">\n<div class=\"greet_block\">\n<div class=\"roundedcornr_box_567221\">\n<div class=\"roundedcornr_top_567221\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"roundedcornr_content_567221\">These <strong>gluten free cookies<\/strong> goes to my <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.egglesscooking.com\/2009\/12\/10\/whole-grain-baking-event-corn\/\">Whole Grain Baking Event &#8211; Corn<\/a><\/strong>.<\/div>\n<div class=\"roundedcornr_bottom_567221\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.egglesscooking.com%2F2009%2F12%2F21%2Fgluten-free-cookies-chocolate-chip%2F&amp;linkname=Gluten%20Free%2C%20Egg%20Free%20and%20Whole%20Grain%20Chocolate%20Chip%20Cookies\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.egglesscooking.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_120_16.png\" width=\"120\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\/Bookmark\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Until recently I had not tried my hands on gluten free baking because I thought that gluten free and egg free baking is quite a challenging one.
