Chocolate Chip Cookies Gluten Free

This is one of the best memories of childhood.  Coming inside from playing and being met the wonderful smell of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.  The warmth, melted chocolate… the oh so good taste!!

I will have to say chocolate chip cookies are one of my favorite cookies.  I love them alone.  I love them with almond milk. They are wonderful with ice cream!!

Once I had to become gluten free, I thought I would have to give this favorite addiction up.  Thank goodness, I was able to use Pamela’s Artisan flour as a gluten free substitute and I can still enjoy my guilty pleasure!

I love adding  something extra  to them like nuts, hunks of white chocolate, raisins… let your taste buds be your guide.

This recipe is so easy and of course, delicously divine. Make a batch today and indulge.
