ORANGE CHOCOLATE CHIP DROP COOKIES

Wet Ingredients, beat well:

cookie)

2 eggs (or 4 whites)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 orange, seeded, chopped fine, with rind (I use a mini electric chopper,
cuisinart or blender)

Dry Ingredients, mix with wire wisk, then add to wet ingredients and mix
thoroughtly:

2 cup white rice flour (or 1 cup + 1 cup brown rice flour)
1/2 cup sweet rice flour
1/2 to 1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda

1 cup chopped nuts or raisins (or both)
1 cup chocolate chips (my favorite are by Tropical Source and I use 1/2
package semi-sweet + 1/2 package expresso chocolate chips for an extra zip)

applesauce is used.)
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
