GLUTEN FREE – EGG FREE – DAIRY FREE and DELICIOUS!
I had 2 groups of people stay for several days at my B&B and two (one from each group) were gluten !free, dairy free and egg free
I’ve got GF and DF pancakes down to a fine art. People always ask for seconds, but I wanted to do some baking for them too.
I came upon an oatmeal recipe I liked the look of (probably because it had coconut in it) so I set about making the cookies. When I had the cookie dough all ready to measure out onto the baking tray I had a gleeful moment, and what the heck! I threw a generous handful of chocolate chips into the batter.
Oh wow.
These little guys are the bomb. Everyone loved them. And recently I put some out for some non-GF guests and the wife suggested that I make them and give them to guests as little gifts. They’re that good. Even Jim, the cookie monster (but only chocolate chip cookies) asked me to please hide them!
