Firstly I am shocked I never shared this recipe. I really thought I had until I went to make chocolate chip cookies the other day and realized the recipe was not on my blog.
I apologize.
Sometimes I come up with 3 or more new recipes, take photos, remake the recipe, share the photos on social media and then go on to the next new recipe and realize I never actually shared it on my blog.
This recipe rocks – truly and can be made both with dairy and dairy free and with each version it is still amazing.
It is a soft and chewy cookie that stays soft and chewy for days.
Yes – days.
Bestest chocolate chip cookie.
Best!
When I made this new recipe I wanted to see if it was really as good as I thought so I had brought cookies to an event I was at and asked a few gluten free folks to try them for me. Overwhelming response. They loved them.
