Flourless Rice Cookies

These are made with cooked rice, and no flour. The recipe used brown rice, but I used white rice (yeah, I think that will make a little difference). You were suppose to add chocolate chips, but I didn't put these in because I just wanted to try them and see how they were.

They weren't anything fantastic, but they were eaten up fast and my big brother liked them (he thought they were oatmeal cookies). But, the downfall to this recipe is that you bake the cookies for a half hour (I know, that's a long time, isn't it?), then let them sit in the oven for another half hour after turning off the oven. Although, I thought about just taking them out right after they baked, instead of letting them sit in the oven. The recipe is from - http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/archive/index.php/t-1606.html

Brown Rice Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups cooked brown rice (I used white)
1/4 cup arrowroot (I didn't use this)
1/3 cup honey (I used brown sugar + a bit of milk)
1/3 stewed dates or raisins (I didn't use these either)
1/4 cup oil (I used vegetable oil)
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp baking soda

Put all in the food processor and whip well. When it looks like mush, add chocolate chips. These turn out to be a fairly chewy cookie that have almost a snack bar consistency. Bake at 300F for 1/2 hour and then let them sit in the oven for another half hour just to dry them out a bit more.

Here's a few pics to show what my "dough" looked like

Sorry that I don't have any pics of the finished cookies :(.
