  1. Do you use a pre-mixed gluten free flour? what about xanthan gum?

  2. Hey, Jessika. No, I use plain rice flour which I grind myself. I do not use xanthan gum any more because I have a few in the family with allergies to yellow and white corn (blue corn is okay). Therefore, I added an extra egg. Tapioca starch works well too as a substitute. However, you can use pre-mixed gluten free flour as well as xanthan gum. For each batch of cookies you can add 1/2-1 tsp. xanthan gum.
