Just Plain Old Chocolate Chip Cookies

Orion asked to make chocolate chip cookies, and I figured I had a basic recipe for them here, but nope - I had a zucchini one and an oatmeal one - but nothing straight up. So I altered a recipe and came up with these, which both kids liked!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/2 cup butter flavored Earth Balance
1 cup brown rice flour

1/2 cup plus 2 TB brown sugar

1 TB rice milk or other milk sub
1/2 ts vanilla
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Melt the Earth Balance in a medium saucepan over low heat.
2. In separate bowl, combine brown rice flour, cornstarch, tapioca flour, xanthan gum, salt & baking soda.
3. In mixing bowl, pour melted butter over brown sugar & sugar. Mix together until creamed.
4. Add egg, milk sub & vanilla & mix until incorporated.
5. Slowly add flour and mix until combined.
6. Add chocolate chips and stir until combined.

Would it work equally well with coconut oil? We are soy free here.
