They were so friggin good it was unbelievable! My husband didn't believe they were gf. He still doesn't!


Lol I've been thinking about getting a bread maker to make gf bread because it's so friggin expensive.

Here's the recipe. Very, very easy!


INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter at room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup + 2 Tbsp gluten free baking mix*
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS
Using a mixer, cream butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl.
Add egg and vanilla and beat again until well combined, scraping sides of bowl as needed.
Add gluten free baking mix in two batches and mix again. It won't be so thick that you can't continue mixing it, but it should appear "doughy."
Stir in chocolate chips, cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4-6 hours until thoroughly chilled. You should be able to roll the dough into balls before baking.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Once chilled, scoop out rounded Tablespoon amounts of dough, roll them into balls and place them 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are just slightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let rest on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to several days. Freezer for longer term storage. (They taste just as good the 2nd and 3rd day as they hold their texture/flavor well.)

I got 2 dozen cookies just like the recipe said, and they're all gone in about 16 hours!

If you like homemade chocolate chip cookies, you will love these!

It's definitely a big adjustment. I actually started with dairy free first on the advice of my Dr because of some tummy troubles. The tummy troubles went the other way after that, so I decided to cut gluten out too.

I would just give it a try. Cut out gluten for 2 weeks and see how you feel after. If you feel better, then you know that gluten is causing some issues.

I've learned a lot about gluten over the last few months. You don't have to have a full blown allergy to it to have issues. It can also be an intolerance or sensitivity to it. I found the best way to find out about is to Google it. There's so much info out there
