Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Are you a crispy cookie or a chewy cookie person?  I like chewy cookies, a little crisp on the edges but chewy in the center. Crispy cookies just aren’t my cup of tea, but that is kinda the great thing about cookies.  You can make them however you like them.  Want chewy, just cut a few minutes off the time… Need crisp, add a minute or two. Simple as that.  If only everything were that easy, right?

Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite cookies, so when I went gluten-free it took a little while to find a good gluten-free recipe.  The secret is the flour mix.  Brown rice flour, potato starch, and tapiocablend to create a flour that acts like all-purpose wheat flour in most recipes. This particular cookie is packed with bitter chocolate chunks and pecans.  Amazing! Plus, the texture is perfect.  You won’t believe these light fluffy cookies are gluten free. They have all these taste of classic chocolate chip cookies. Make them chewy or crispy.  Just make them!
