I love sugar cookies and I love Snickerdoodle cookies most of all the
types of sugar cookies.

Since I went gluten free I've not done much baking because I wasn't
too sure of how things would come out using gluten free flour mixes.
I've done a bit of research on them, on what others have come up with.

So....today I'm craving a cookie like mad. I decided to see what I
had in the pantry to make a gluten free flour mix out of. I
followed Gluten Free Girls recommendation of 40% higher protein gluten
free flour and 60% higher starch flours.

Here is the mix I made from what I had on hand.

200 gr quinoa flour
100 gr garbanzo bean flour
100 gr almond flour
100 gr coconut flour
100 gr potato flour
600 gr manioc/tapioca flour
4 tsp xanthan gum
2 tsp guar gum
Whisked everything together and put in a container.

I made my regular Snickerdoodle recipe. They came out great.
Texture is right on, crunchy outside and moist and tender inside. I
was a little nervous about using the garbanzo bean flour because I
didn't want the cookies to have a 'beany' flavor. They don't, but
they might have had if I'd used more garbanzo bean flour in the mix.

I used an ice cream scoop to portion and used lots of cinnamon and
sugar to roll the cookies in. Here is the just out of the oven and
a shot with a bit out so you can see the interior.
