As I mentioned in a previous post, we’re updating our front sunporch. And we’re making some progress. While the contractor was here on Monday night, I was in the mood to bake some cookies, and decided I needed to still do a tribute to Bette Hageman’s passing. Bette was truly a leader in helping so many of us in gf cooking and baking.
Using some of her Featherlight Flour Mix, I decided to try Gluten Free Toll House Cookies. Only substitution I made was using the flour mix instead of ”regular” flour. Nothing else. I made bar cookies (as I’ve always loved those) and at one point of the baking stage, I thought this is never going to work. As I checked on it once in the oven, it was quite gelatinous, but it firmed up and baked well. Rich, buttery dough with chocolate morsels inside. Yum. I posted a picture of one below.
I knew our contractor wanted one, but I don’t share my gf yummies with just anyone. As for our sunporch, the inside is still unfinished, but I think the outside looks much better, don’t you? Take the eye test and decide for yourself.
Better A?
Better B?
Definitely Better C!
OH! I vote C! (And B…)
LOL
The house looks great!
Toast to your success with a milk and a Toll House Bar Cookie!
MMMM!
=)

Hi Steve-
I’m dong the roundup now- do you have a one line sentence about Bette that you can add to your post or would like included in the tribute card I’m creating? If so, please post it in the comments for the roundup (up today) or email it to me and I’ll include it. Thanks!

Hi Sea, Bette was truly a leader in helping so many of us in gf cooking and baking. One of her cookbooks was the first one I bought after being diagnosed with Celiac, and after reading through it, I realized, I don’t have to live without certain things.
Hello, Steve. I’m new to your blog. Vote for C! I’d love to have the recipe, if you don’t mind.
Arfi – I used the regular Toll House Cookie recipe with Bette Hageman’s Featherlight Flour Mix for the flour. The mix is
1 c. rice flour
1 c. corn starch
1 c. tapioca starch
1 Tbs. potato FLOUR (not potato starch)
Enjoy!
