Gluten-Free and Vegan Tasty Cookie Recipe:

Making gluten-free and vegan cookies is a difficult task. Sometimes it takes trial and error to find the right combination of gluten-free flours to make it “taste just right.” This recipe is easy to make and very delicious! I did a taste test to unsuspecting people not knowing the cookies were allergy-friendly and they could not tell they “were not normal.” Not only do these cookies contain no dairy or eggs but it uses coconut oil, which contains healthy fat and has anti-inflammatory properties. Making these cookies not only tasty but healthy! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
