Let's Be Yummy A Gluten Free way to enjoy life's pleasant delights
My daughter had been begging, no make that whining, about wanting some chocolate cookies. I had gone on a processed food band before becoming gluten free.
So no more boxed cookie mixes pretending we were making from scratch had entered our house in quite awhile. She did not want chocolate chip or oatmeal, just plain chocolate, mom!! I like a chocolate cookie but did not want a deep, dark chocolate taste.
I tried and rejected some regular chocolate cookie recipes when I found this chocolate sugar concoction. It is a great basic cookie.
It will be so good to decorate come the holidays. It is umm, umm good with pudding or ice cream, according to her since I am dairy free.
These cookies meet all the requirements: light in taste, taste great and easy to make. Make up a batch for your child/children or self real soon!
