Gluten-Free Super Crispy Chocolate Pecan Cookies

 My tummy has been giving me a lot of trouble and I notice it is every time I eat bread or baked goods with wheat.  I believe I have a Gluten Intolerance problem.  I have decided to go Gluten Free and I have notice a significant difference in the way I feel.

You will be seeing a lot of Gluten Free baking as well as conventional baking for friends and family, so stay tune for more!  Baking this way is a whole new mind-set for me and I will be learning a new way of baking/cooking.  I feel so good that I know it is imperative that I bake and cook this way.

By the way these cookies are absolutely delicious, super crispy and delightfully chewy.  They are great with a cold glass of Almond Milk.
