CHUNKY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
These are excellent, substantial cookies! No one will guess they are gluten-free, sugar-free and low-carb. That’s the best part, I think! Keep them in the refrigerator or the freezer (they become quite crunchy), depending on your preference. The top photos - cookies made with almond meal...bottom photos with almond flour from Honeyville Grains. I can't believe the difference in color...much lighter.
Gluten-Free Bake Mix with gelatin - I am finding the two bake mixes which are similar, but one uses xanthan gum and the other unflavored gelatin are pretty much interchangeable. That's good news!! Sometimes with cookies, the gelatin is not necessary. Gelatin or xanthan gum are just there to prevent crumbly outcomes. I typically skip the gelatin for cookies and most of my recipes, to be honest.
