Beating Strong

Rice Flour Raisin Cookies

• 1/2 Cup White Rice Flour
• 1/2 Cup Brown Rice Flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
• 1/4 Cup Raw Sugar
• 1/2 Cup Raisins
• 60 Grams Margarine
• 3 Tbsp. Water

Preheat oven to 180 degrees F. Prepare a flat oven tray so it is non-stick. Place flours, baking powder, cinnamon and raw sugar in a mixing bowl. Chop raisins and add to the dry mixture. Stir margarine into dry mixture and add water. Mix until a “stiff” dough is made. Roll into balls and flatten with a fork. Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until golden brown. Makes about 12 cookies.

Note:
Anything with rice flour tends to crumble so try self-rising flour that will give a result similar to baking with regular flour.
