Chocolate Chip Cookies

gluten free chocolate chip cookies

These are delicious freshly out of the oven and dipped in ice cold milk. I suggest making an amount that will be eaten within a day or two because they are the best fresh. You can keep the dough in the fridge for a few days or freeze so you can make fresh cookies in small batches!
