Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Last week my son needed to take snack for a home school class he attends once a week. I made these cookies, and because I am the teacher for half the time, I was nearby when everyone ate them. The kids were outside, and I wasn’t close enough to hear all the comments, but I did hear things like, “These are really good.” Later my son said, “Everyone really liked the cookies.” That’s the kind of report that makes any mom smile, but when you know they liked your gluten-free cookies, and didn’t know the difference, it can really make your day. Not that I was surprised, I wouldn’t have sent them if I thought they weren’t good, but it’s always nice to have confirmation. And you know kids will be honest. I hope you enjoy them too.
If you don’t have millet flour, you can use additional rice flour to replace it. Or try whatever flour mix you have on hand. They will probably turn out well.

I made some cookies w/ Namaste Cookie Mix and Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips (GF/DF) for a demo at the store where I work. No one could tell they were GF!
I think gluten free is the new black. And gluten free chocolate chip cookies are like the little black dress. Always in demand.
Yum! I love chocolate chip cookies - because honestly, who doesn't? :) I haven't made them since going gluten-free though. Should definitely give it a try!
Linda--These look great! I have several really good choc chip cookie recipes, but there's always room for one more. ;-) I'm like you about the right balance of chocolate to batter. There's a chocolate chip overload cookie recipe and it calls for 24 ounces of chocolate chips. Yes, two bags. There's just no way I could make those. Yes, I'd try one, but I wouldn't make them.
Love Iris' comment--how true!
