1 cup GF flour mix
1 cup dark Teff flour
3/4 tsp xanthan gum
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup margarine, room temperature
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
chocolate squares (I used Hershey's Special Dark 100 calorie packs, and cut each individual package of chocolate into fourths and put them on the cookies)
large marshmallows (I use the Wal-mart brand that says they're gluten free), halved horizontally
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulse oats until finely ground. Add flours, xanthan gum, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt; pulse to combine. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, scraping down side of bow. With mixer on low, slowly add dry ingredients just until combined.
I tried to form small balls, about 1 teaspoon, and then drop them onto a cookie sheet. I lined one cookie sheet with parchment paper, and just sprayed the other with pam. The one with parchment paper just stayed a little softer and browned less. These cookies are very dense and nutty, and so I tried to make a smaller cookie, pushing it down flat, and then placing the square of chocolate on each cookie before placing it in the oven. The cookies will puff up a bit during baking, and don't spread much. I set the timer for five minutes, and then turned the pan to brown evenly, and set it for another five minutes. Then I cooked the second pan's worth the same way. If you're making the cookies small, then you'll be able to get at least 3 dozen. After all of the cookies were baked, I turned the broiler on. I took the halved marshmallows and placed them on the center of each cookie, and put one pan under the broiler. This doesn't take long , so I left the oven door slightly open and watched. To evenly brown, I also turned the pan around at least once while broiling.

I am sugar & gluten-free but my husband isn't. For quite some time (before I learned how to bake gf) I cooked for him - and never tasted any of it. Looking back, I know it was crazy. Now he eats my sugar & gluten free food...so I can realte to your struggles. This is my first visit to your blog and I will definitely be back.
It sure does look good. And once in a while at the campfire I would love to have something like this.
What a great blog you have! I've gone through it a couple times looking for good cake recipes! We do fancy cakes for birthdays, and the chocolate cake recipe you used for the monkey face was so yummy. I had trouble with the center sinking because of the high altitude I live in, but the taste was fabulous.
I also tried the yellow cupcake recipe, and my whole family LOVED it!!! The last few cakes I made before trying your recipes were okay, but not fabulous. Your site has given cake back to me! Thanks so much!!!
