It’s been difficult to make really delicious baked goods for my gluten sensitive friends and family. However, Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies made the cut! They are scrumptious and surprisingly light.
Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Instructions
- Place butter and cream cheese in the bowl of and electric mixer, and leave to soften.
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour and next 4 ingredients, and set aside.
