Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

February 20, 2019

My Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe is so good, you will never know you’re eating America’s favorite cookies . . . gluten-free!

This recipe passed the “cookie” test with friends, family and co-workers, who thought they were eating the real thing.

When they were told they were gluten-free cookies, they could not tell the difference.

In fact, they raved these were the best chocolate chip cookies they had ever tasted . . . better than any others!

So, what makes my recipe the best ever?

It is all in the gluten-free cookie dough base.

There are special gluten-free cookie-making techniques built into the recipe in order to get the best consistent cookie product.

Better still, the recipe can easily be adjusted to eliminate other food allergens, making it safe for corn-free, dairy-free egg-free and sugar-free diets.

Years in the making, I proudly present this incredibly delicious Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe to the world.

Happy noshing,
