Kim, I tried the old fashioned cookie recipe you posted at the beginning of this thread. They turned out super.
I had to figure out measurements in cups, and of course, didn't remember that 1/4 pound (1 stick) of butter is 1/2 cup. So I decided to just put in cup everywhere the recipe said pound. That gave me 1/4 cup of butter, 1/4 sugar, though I actually used 1/3, since I love sweets, and 1/2 cup rice flour, with the 2 eggs. It turned out too runny, so I added about 1/4 cup of buckwheat flour, and ended up with a cookie dough that could be dropped by spoon. I also added some chopped dates, and some chopped almonds, and a spoonful of vanilla flavoring. I baked the drop cookies at 350 for about 20 minutes, and they were super. If I had gone with 2 eggs, 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 cup flour, they would probably have been stiff enough to have rolled them out like the recipe called for. I'll try that next time.
Thanks, and hugs,
