Twelve Days of Gluten Free Cookies | Grain Free Double Chocolate Cookies (Day 1)

Happy Wednesday

I’m in shock that we are midway through the last month of 2016. In celebration of this milestone and the fact that Christmas is just 12 days away, we are bringing back our twelve days of gluten free cookies series.

How does it work?

Every day for the next twelve days we will feature a gluten free cookie recipe. Many of them will be originals but a few will be pinterest favorites and a few tried and true classics featured here on the blog or in my personal recipe collection. As far as I’m concerned, cookies make life sweeter and better. I’ve blogged about my love of eating cookies (notably chocolate chip) and it’s my hope that you like, love, share, and most importantly bake the cookies that made this year’s countdown.
