Chocolate chip cookies are and should be part of well any balanced diet. Once Alycia was forced to go gluten free I had trouble finding a good gluten free chocolate chip recipe. I experimented with half a dozen gluten free chocolate chip recipes before I finally stumbled upon a delicious one that comes out consistently excellent every time I make it.
In fact the cookies are so good they pass the highest level gluten free test, which is people who don't know, have one and say "these are gluten free?". Yeah they're so good you can't tell they're gluten free. Here's the recipe.
Ingredients:
Granted this isn't truly from scratch since the primary ingredient is Pamela's Baking Mix, but I think for the noble goal of eating fresh, home made chocolate chip cookies, we'll ignore that these aren't truly technically from scratch.
This recipe is also so delicious that it got picked up and published on The Wisdom of the Gaucho, so you can read about Awesome Gluten Free Cookies over there as well.

I heartily agree, chocolate chip cookies are health food. There isn't another cookie that can match them for satisfaction guaranteed. And now you have found a gluten-free recipe; the best just got better!
John--Jumped here from Donna's GWGT post, initially because of your FANTASTIC first name. A gluten-intolerant friend of mine will appreciate this recipe. You're too hard on yourself. A blog of eclectic posts can be interesting if the POSTS are interesting--and yours are! --John
P.S. I tell people that I am of the opinion that there should be at least one John in every building. :)
Thanks John, I appreciate the comment and am thankful that you'd like to follow the blog. Even though I'm not a professional writer there's always this tiny part of me that is mildly self-conscious about my written works. Perhaps I just need to have the occasional cathartic "woe-is-me" missive to help me feel better!!
And since my significant other has had Celiac Disease for 6 years now, we've gotten pretty good at gluten free (and vegetarian) cooking. As such I post a ton of recipes that are gluten free and vegetarian here on the blog.
