Product Test - Bob's Red Mill Chocolate Chip Cookies

Another Hit!!

We've tried "Store Bought" Gluten Free Cookies, but they lacked that homemade taste. We decided to give Bob's Red Mill Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix. Once again, the directions were very easy to follow, and the final results were amazing!! If I didn't tell you they were Gluten Free, you wouldn't know! I  didn't tell my son they were Gluten Free and I found myself hiding the remainder of the batch so he didn't eat the rest of them. As with the other Gluten Free mixes available from Bob's Red Mill, I would highly recommend their Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix!! It is the closed to homemade that I have tried so far!
