When I get up in the morning, I don’t usually think, “Today’s the day that I’m going to make cookies.” No, they usually happen kind of spur-of the moment, one off kind of a deal. But, to be honest, I haven’t made cookies in a while because, well, they’ve got all this STUFF in them. Stuff that people in my family cant enjoy. But, today, when I got up, the first thing I thought was, “Today’s the day that I’m going to make Vegan & Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies.” For reals, people, the cookie that everyone in my family can eat has arrived.
I have loved cookies for a very, very long time. You can ask my mom. Pretty much out of the womb, I was asking for a chocolate chip cookie. Or a monster cookie. Or sugar. Pretty much any kind of cookie you can think of, I wanted it. So, it was really with a sad heart that, when I went gluten-free, I enjoyed one last cookie. But, these little gems of no-egg, no-dairy, no-wheat? They have filled my heart with a joy of cookie-dom. Yes, they taste like the real-deal, they feel like the real-deal and they are totally delicious. Which is why I love cookies to begin with, right? Right. I mean, seriously, you wouldn’t know that all those “crucial” ingredients were missing. These gluten-free and vegan chocolate chip cookies really are just better than original, simply because they’re the same, but without all the things that make a person itchy. So, go make a batch. You’ll be glad you did.
