Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl, combine rice flour, puffed rice (or rice bran), and salt.

In a separate bowl, melt the butter or coconut oil. Whisk in honey or maple syrup until smooth, then beat in the egg.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Fold in the chocolate chips last so they stay evenly distributed. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more rice flour; if too dry, add 1–2 teaspoons of water or milk.

Roll dough into small balls or press into flat discs on the baking sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork or your fingers.

Bake for 12–15 minutes, until set and lightly golden at the edges.
