Gluten free cookies


So Miss Independent is becoming mighty helpful in the kitchen.  She wanted to help deseed a pomagrenate so she suggested checking out a Youtube video and following the instructions.  Wow, what a great idea.  I love cooking demonastrations; a girl after my own heart.  Watch and learn!


Using a bowl full of water she pulled apart the whole fruit with her hands eventually leaving all the seeds at the bottom and the white stuff rose to the top.  She was pretty proud of herself.
Now on to the most delicious Gluten free cookie I've made or eaten!  My friend sent me this recipe and basically gave the instruction to substitute the pastry flour for GF flour.  Specifically Presidents Choice brand in a box.  I can attest to the fact that not all Gluten Free fours are equal; definitely NOT!  I omitted the walnuts; since the person I was making them for has a nuts allergy but everything else was true to the recipe (besides the butter flavouring; who knows what that is?! I used butter).

The PC Gluten Free flour comes in a box with 2 bags inside.  Each bag is exactly 2 &1/2 cups.  A good thing to know since measuring this flour can become a little messy.  Its very light!
New Hershey's 70% chocolate chunks are awesome.
I used a small scoop to make these very uniform.
I took these cookies out of the oven at this stage and left them on the stove top to "set".

Within 5 minutes they had finished cooking.

Here's the kids excitedly eating their soup and GF cornbread so they can partake in a warm cookie fresh from the oven.  Incentives are a moms best friend!
