Nicolesauce's multifarious holiday baking  encourages mammasauce to try, yet again, for a cookie-tasting and cookie-feeling confection without gluten. Who would have guessed this attempt would work? Certainly not its older brother and sister attempts

Preheat: 350 degrees F

Cream
1c shortening or butter
3/4 c each brown and white sugar (used organic)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp Xanthan gum

Beat in
2 eggs
1 c brown rice flour
1 c white sorghum flour
Add more sorghum flour, if necessary, to make a spoonable dough.

Stir in
1 c pecans

Spoon onto ungreased sheets. Bake about 10 minutes. Cookies should be slightly soft in center, to avoid hockey puck effect when they cool.
