I love cookies, but I run into a problem with them. When I buy premade gluten free cookies, they’re only OK and they’re super expensive. When I make them at home, I end up with a batch that makes anywhere from 40 to 60 cookies (depending on cookie size) and I can’t help but eat way more of them than I meant to. Does anyone else have this conundrum? This recipe is kind of my savior for moments like that. This recipe only makes 12 cookies (which I think is the perfect amount for making and sharing), and it’s pretty healthy (as far as cookies go, at least). Plus, they are so delicious and definitely satisfy the yummy cookie craving.
