CHUNKY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES - This is still one of my faves!
CHUNKY CHIPPERS
These chunky cookies were
lovely too - just smaller and different. The gelatin keeps the cookies from being crumbly. When one uses the bake mix without xanthan gum, cookies can sometimes be a little less stable. Most of the time gelatin is not required. Let the cookies cool completely on the cookie sheet before removing. Valentine's Day is coming up soon and I have chocolate on the brain, but I have to remember I usually pay with migraines. Ugh...! My DH eats dark chocolate in front of me almost every single day....the sheer torture of it! Now, I wonder what I can eat that he can't? Ah, my bake mix with xanthan gum....but wait a minute...typically that means I don't use it very often anymore as it's not fair to him (his system cannot handle the xanthan gum). I have to use the one with gelatin for Ian.
