Cookies for the Cookie Monsters

I wanted to begin this post by asking who likes chocolate chip cookies, although I think the better questions is who DOESN'T like chocolate chip cookies! Growing up, my mom would always be baking chocolate chip cookies for my family and I.  This recipe looks incredibly great and I even got some nice comments from my cousins children about how yummy they are. She has 3 children and one new addition who was unable to give me any feed back because he's only 7 months old.  I will introduce you to this recipe then give you the great testimonials after!  I found this recipe from a magazine called Living Without Gluten Free & More.  These cookies are gluten, dairy and egg-free.

You will need:
1¾ cups + 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
2 tablespoons golden flax meal
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup Spectrum organic shortening or butter or margarine of choice
¾ cups packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1½ teaspoons tapioca syrup or lecithin
¼-⅓ cup water
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

When you begin cooking, you want to preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray Pam on a cookie sheet. Then you can mix together flour blend, flax meal, baking powder and baking soda.  In another bowl, mix together shortening and sugars. Add vanilla and tapioca syrup and blend together.  Add the flour mixture and enough water until dough is all blended and not lumpy. Stir in the chocolate chips.

You want to drop the dough in dough balls onto the greased cookie sheet and pop it into the oven for about 12-15 minutes.

The kids had such a great things to say about it,

"I loved them because they were so warm and goooooey!" -Addy, 7
"I want to help you make them because I want to eat the dough!" -Ellie, 5 (Gluten-free)
"I loooove them." -Chris, 3

Hope you're kids love them as much as these kiddos did.
