It’s that time of year again! The holiday season is upon us and the oven in our house is fired up and pumping out cookies and all kind of baked goods almost daily! I love my sweets. Anyone who knows me knows that I love to bake so how do I balance my ginormous sweet tooth with staying healthy and fit through the holidays? I don’t shy away from enjoying my sweet treats I just enjoy them in moderation! I know it’s not as easy as it sounds so to help me not eat up a dozen cookies in a day, when I bake, I like to share the wealth with friends and family. It’s always a nice treat when someone shows up at your door with some fresh baked goods (they don’t need to know that you have to get them out of your house just so you won’t eat them all)!
These are a new favorite in our house that I have been craving ever since I last made them (yea even though they are gluten free believe me they are so good you will crave these)! I made these cookies as one of my desserts I took to my in laws for Thanksgiving. My mom-in-law is gluten free and it was such a nice treat to have something to take that she could also enjoy! My father-in-law also enjoyed them too, even though he is not gluten free, and he was in awe that these cookies were actually gluten free! After a few bites of his first cookie he asked me again if they were really gluten free!
These cookies are so rich and fudgy! The egg whites in them help crisp the tops, think meringues, and the chocolate chips in them make them ever so decadent that the taste like they are from a bakery! The best thing about these cookies (besides all the stuff I just said and they are gluten free…) there are only 7 ingredients and none of them are crazy things that if you aren’t gluten free you don’t usually have in your home like 10 different kinds of flours! The struggle is real people.. when you want to make a great gluten free dessert but you don’t have all the specialty ingredients ( what is xanthan gum anyway?) . Since these cookies are flourless you most likely have everything you need, already in your pantry, to bake these today!
