Gluten-Free Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
By Emily Smith
I know that my Little Guy does well with sugarless treats, but sometimes I make him something special sweetened with a little raw sugar, coconut sugar or stevia. A classic chocolate chip cookie is one of his favorites. This weekend was just the kind of weekend for some cookies, so I picked up the ingredients and baked a batch. He was pretty happy with his surprise. If you’re feeling like indulging without diving into a sugar coma (ie: headache), I think that you’ll enjoy this recipe quite a bit

You can read more about it in this post here: http://pollynoble.com/2012/05/the-bad-news-about-agave-syrup/ and do a littler research yourself to make up your mind on that one.

September 10, 2012 at 3:31 am (254 days ago)These look so good!! Is there anything I can use in place of the tapioca flour? Brown rice flour maybe?

September 11, 2012 at 1:49 am (253 days ago)Hi Cait! You could try brown rice flour, but it might make the cookie crumble more. The starch in the tapioca flour (derived from the root) works to bind the cookie. I would maybe try potato starch (not potato flour!) or sorghum flour.
