Gluten free chocolate chip cookies

Traditional chocolate chip cookies with a twist! :)

Live a little will ya, have a cookie!

When I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I started baking and playing with gluten free recipes. For those not aware, celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the small intestine when gluten (wheat, rye, barely) is consumed. Throughout my blogging journey I will share how this diagnosis has affected my day to day. Friendly reminder, being gluten free is not something I do to "be healthy". It is a serious health condition that I have to prioritize in order to be healthy and stay healthy. Please be conscious when you are discussing gluten free to people. Having celiac and being gluten free is a MASSIVE difference. Ok, now back to the cookies...

These chocolate chip cookies have become a staple in my house. My family and friends love them. Better yet they do not have that "gluten free taste". I mean, they are soft, filled with goodness, and a dash of mushroom powder - what else could ya want!? Before you panic and shy away from making these, mushroom blends are safe and healthy to cook with!
