Babycakes NYC Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Who doesn't adore chocolate chip cookies? These ones are gluten-free, dairy free and egg free but you would never know it. I opted for chocolate chunks to add even more taste and texture. Amazing!

What flours are used to make these gluten-free? Oat flour, GF all purpose flour and lastly, though not technically flour, the addition of flaxseed meal. Flaxseed meal adds even more fiber and Omega 3 fatty acids plus works wonders at binding all the ingredients together.

For both the GF all purpose flour and the flaxseed meal, I used Bob's Red Mill brand. They also carry oat flour too but I opted for a different brand because I had it handy. Feel free to use whichever one you like best. If you want to ensure egg and dairy free cookies, I recommend Enjoy Life Chocolate Chunks. These are pretty much as good as you can get.

Be forewarned, this recipe does have a lengthy list of ingredients but the end result is worth it. The cookies are fat, moist, store well in an air-tight container but above all else they taste GREAT! The kids gobbled these up.

Babycakes NYC is a well-known gluten-free bakery in New York City. There are even Babycakes cookbooks available too and I will be purchasing one shortly as I was so thrilled with this recipe. I think Babycakes Covers the Classics will soon be added to my already jammed bookshelves.



Now on to the recipe!
