Visit the Finger Lakes
Here in the Finger Lakes, a bed and breakfast can be urban or rural, cottage, cabin, farmhouse, mansion or a simple family home. It's the blend of style, location and genuine hospitality that sets it apart and offers the guest such a rich and varied experience. You'll find member bed and breakfast inns near wine trails, museums and galleries, historic sites, shopping, state parks, and of course lakes and more lakes.
At a bed and breakfast, the abundance of amenities and innkeeper's attention to quality and detail add value to the package. You may find a guest refrigerator stocked with drinks, and afternoon tea or refreshments may be served. Inns often stock high quality soaps and shampoo, hair dryers and sundries you may have forgotten. Television, movies, books and other reading materials invite you to sit a spell. Whirlpool baths and in-room fireplaces are the most popular amenities guests look for, and today more inns are being outfitted with data ports or other computer access. Check our member listings for details.
No matter what the occasion, one visit and you'll be hooked on the combination of unique individuality, genuine hospitality and personal style that makes staying at a bed and breakfast such a memorable experience.
Since each B&B is unique, policies governing reservations, payment, cancellation, arrival and departure times, and operating procedures may differ from one to another. Advance reservations are strongly recommended and an estimated time of arrival is helpful. We encourage you to ask questions to ensure that your needs can be met at the B&B of your choice.
Gluten free chocolate chip cookies
Inn of the Week
Canandaigua, New York
These cookies are fantastic, even for people who aren’t on gluten-free diets. They don’t have the nasty aftertaste you can sometimes get with gluten-free recipes. If you don’t mind them crispy, leave out the xanthan gum. It’s not a necessary ingredient for gluten-free cookie recipes, and it’s expensive besides. One thing to note is the chilling factor is very important. Don’t eliminate that step
Ingredients:
2 c. white or brown rice flour
¼ c. cornstarch
2 T. tapioca flour
1 t. xanthan gum (optional)
1 t. baking soda
1 t. kosher salt
1 c. unsalted butter (2 sticks)
¼ c. granulated sugar
1 ¼ c. brown sugar, packed
1 whole egg
1 egg yolk
2 T. whole milk
1 ½ t. vanilla
12 oz. semi-sweet or bitter-sweet chocolate chips
Chopped nuts (optional)
Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine rice flour, cornstarch, tapioca flour, baking soda, salt and xanthan gum, if using. Set aside.
Melt butter over low heat and then pour into bowl of a stand mixer. Add both sugars and cream together on medium speed for one minute. Add the whole egg, egg yolk, milk and vanilla and mix well. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Add the chocolate chips and nuts, if using, and stir to combine.
Chill the dough until firm, approximately one hour. Shape the dough into balls and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven set to 375 for approximately 12-14 minutes or until edges are brown and they aren’t too gooey in the middle. If you opted out of the xanthan gum, they will spread out a lot so keep that in mind when putting them on the cookie sheet. Give them room to “grow”!
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before removing to wire rack. Cool completely. Store in airtight container.
