AMERICA'S CLASSIC CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE IS NOW GLUTEN-FREE

One of my favorite childhood memories from growing up is making cookies with my grandma. Nearly every time I spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa’s house, we would mix up a bowl or two to bake and then enjoy while we spent hours playing card games like Crazy Eights, Go-Fish, or Rummy.

The secret recipe for the world's best chocolate chip cookies...

It was really no secret at all. Grandma’s go-to recipe was from the American classic Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies bag.

Sometimes, we would make the whole batch according to that recipe. But most of the time, Grandma’s tradition was to divide the cookie dough in half right before adding the few final ingredients that determined her variations.

We would make half of the dough as the recipe suggested for chocolate chip cookies. And we always made the other half of the dough into oatmeal and raisin cookies. When grandma felt fancy, she’d combine milk and butter with confectioners’ sugar to drizzle over the top of the raisin oatmeal cookies for icing.

To this day I can’t decide which is my favorite, the chocolate chip or the raisin oatmeal?

Once I was grown up and on my own, I started getting a little more creative in the varieties based on the “Original” recipe. Cranberry, Macadamia Nut, White Chocolate Cookies, and Cranberry Oatmeal & White Chocolate Chip Cookies quickly became two new favorites when I wanted to splurge.

How to make the best gluten-free chocolate chip cookies in the world...

After being diagnosed with celiac disease, I tried replacing the original recipe’s wheat-based flour with a gluten-free cup-for-cup flour. However, no matter what variety of cookies I made, they didn’t taste the same. Some cup-for-cups came very close, but none reminded me of the great cookies I’d eaten as a kid.

The recipe changed for the better after I came up with my Gluten-Free Cake Flour Blend. Using my blend makes each cookie variety with the right amount of chewiness and crunch. There’s no grainy aftertaste in my mouth and no funny taste.

Being creative, cooking, fresh veggies, the violin, decorating for holidays, sewing, hand-quilting, cowgirl boots, country music, fresh herbs in pots, blowing dandelions to the wind, walking barefoot in the grass, hanging out with eclectic interesting people, reading, writing, warm lazy summer days, and yoga!

Gluten, cilantro, mixed vegetables (the frozen kind I grew up with), negativism, rudeness, narcissism, overstaying a welcome,
not helping out, liars, promiscuity, cockiness, know-it-alls, being overly-dramatic, goal-less-ness, poor hygiene, chauvinism, lacking a sense of humor, excessive competitiveness, Laziness, horrifying spellers, people-bashing, criticism and mockery of others and their beliefs, flakiness (because flaky people are really unappealing), more swagger than substance, people who constantly manage others (those folks who think they have all the answers…)

Lambrusco, my iPad, popcorn suppers, dark chocolate, cookbooks, Almond-Rocca, historical romances, sun-bathing, weekend coffee with a good book in bed, PBS cooking shows, romantic comedies, cozy sweaters, fuzzy socks, and fragrant bubble baths with soft music and wine…
