I love cookies... and I have been missing them since I first gave up gluten several weeks ago. I need a basic cookie dough that I can rely on to give me a tasty and authentic cookie when I want one!
So, today I made them again, but I used less almond meal, and replaced it with more ground flax... and I baked them for 2 minutes less as well. They are delicious!
I scooped the dough with a one-tablespoon measure and they made 13 cookies. You could certainly make them smaller if you like. And of course you could use any flavor baking chips or dried fruit or nuts as well.
The Captain and I both enjoyed a couple of them, still warm from the oven and we agreed this recipe is a keeper! I love the nutty flavor of the ground flax seeds and the texture is really good.... soft but chewy. It doesn't need any more tweaking.... hurray!
If you are looking for a good gluten-free and grain-free cookie, I hope you will give these a try!

Gluten-free Grain-free and delicious!
I'm not a GF eater, but I do love almond meal. But where did you find pb chips? I have to special order them from King Arthur Flour. I have some fab recipes that call for them, but it's a pain trying to get the chips.
