Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Who doesn’t love a warm-gooey chocolate chip cookie?! Might be one of the best baked good treats there is!

I am always striving to find healthy recipes, but also ones that are gluten-free. Whenever I make gluten-free recipes I do my best to make them taste “not gluten-free.” If you know what I mean...

Sometimes baked good gluten-free recipes come out dry and crumbly, which with some recipes is fine. Personally, I like my cookie texture to have some gooeyness to it, if it doesn’t it reminds me of store bought cookies.

ANYWAY—this gluten free chocolate chip cookie recipe is fabulous, because the cookies are not dry or crumbly! The key is to make sure you buy gluten free flour that has xanthan gum in it already or add it to your flour combination. This is key! This will make the cookies gooey and not dry…basically counter acts the gluten-free aspect (while still being gluten free).
