I twisted the recipe around a little and used my own flour because I didn't 

want them to taste weird considering that I have CD n'all!

Beat together shortening and sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer 

or wooden spoon. Add eggs and beat together. Then add the vanilla and beat together.

Pour in flour mixture and stir with wooden spoon until combined.

Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.

Drop heaping tsps of dough 2 inches apart onto baking sheets.

My own recipe for flour that I used in this recipe instead of the 

brown-rice flour mixture!!!! Here ya go, have fun with it!!!

Gluten Free Flour Mix

1 1/2 cups sweet rice flour or white rice flour

1 cup tapioca starch flour

1 cup rice bran

1 tbls xanthan gum

1/2 tsp ascorbic acid

Last two ingredients hold baked goods together better.
