Summer Baking

Any time of the year is a good time for baking. We enjoy trying out different gluten-free cookie recipes in the summer when dessert is best kept light and not too filling.

Recently we tried a double chocolate chocolate-chip cookie that is soft and delicious. Because of the almond flour, it is more filling than most cookies and definitely a treat to savor. It was well received by everyone who tried it.

When it’s summer we also enjoy having organic berries with whipped cream (made from fresh heavy cream) as well as crust-free cheesecake. What is your favorite summer time treat?

Gluten Free Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Cookies

The Original Cookie

It all started with my chocolate chip cookies. People who always consumed and loved traditional cookies made with wheat flour would find my chocolate chip cookies to be irresistible, not even realizing they were eating a gluten free dessert. For people who are gluten free by choice or are allergic to gluten and are celiacs, they truly appreciated these cookies because they offer a delicious alternative.

We decided to test some of the gluten free cookies that can be found in the grocery store. The most memorable, sadly, was a particular brand of cookie that was touted to be paleo. It was like eating a vanilla flavored sponge. I knew I could do better than this! People deserve good treats that are healthy. So it all began with my famous paleo chocolate chip cookies. Next came the salted caramel chip cookie, which is the same cookie but with different chips, and then more flavors were introduced.

It’s been so much fun finding cookies that people can enjoy. What’s your favorite kind of cookie?
