Wheat-Free Thin Chocolate Chip Cookies ~ Gluten-Free & Vegan
Wheat-Free Thin Chocolate Chip Cookies are my kind of easy, fuss-free baking when I’m craving a fresh chocolate chip cookie. Here is a nifty little secret about these baked cookies though; if you freeze them they actually become chewy after they are defrosted. I packed some of these frozen cookies in a picnic lunch one day and that is how I discovered this deliciousness. In fact, we actually like them best as a chewy cookie so I keep some in the freezer pretty much all the time.

Even though this is a vegan cookie, go ahead and sub real butter and milk if you prefer.
