GF Chocolate Chunk cookies by the tub!

Here’s a small San Diego, CA company that has dipped a toe into the growing sea of gluten free offerings around the country. They specialize in vegan cookie dough, sitting in the deli case at your specialty grocer, ready to scoop up and bake.
One of their offerings is gluten-free. I was tearing through the Tucson Whole Foods, looking for anything to tempt my father’s appetite. He needed calories, and as far as I was concerned, he didn’t need gluten.
I pulled the container out in the pre-dawn hours, slapped the pans into the oven, and in a short period of time had a batch of Gluten-Free Chocolate Chunk cookies. And guess what?
This is a lovely cookie. Great mouth feel -- soft, chewy, flavorful. I stored them in a sealed bag on the kitchen table, ready to tempt my father, and religiously limited myself to one a day.
I got three of them, I think.
He got the rest.
They were just as soft the third day. I made them a touch smaller than recommended, and got 28 out of the container. This is actually cheaper than buying most ready-made GF cookies. You may not want to feed the horde this way, because all those great ingredients aren’t cheap, but for special occasions, and to have a tub in the fridge that you can safely eat raw? Oh, yeessss, Precious, they are rings! And for your vegan friends who don’t have to worry about gluten? Five more flavors. They have Ginger, sob!
Not available in Texas yet, alas. But check out their web site to see if anyplace near you has them!
