    This is the last day of Gluten Free Week. I've enjoyed experimenting with gluten free flour. I've tried using it in place of regular flour in a few other recipes with varying degrees of success. I made cupcakes that turned a little harder than I would have liked but I also made these chocolate chip cookies that turned out perfect! If you have any hints, tips or experiment with gluten free flour, please report back. I would love to hear about it!

    As I said in my previous two posts, I used the Edmonds Gluten Free Plain Flour. Again, if you have another brand you like or you make your own blend then please use those.

    These are like any cookie bar. Simple yet delicious and crowd pleasing. Plus it takes the hassle out of having to roll heaps of balls of cookie dough.

    The beauty of these bars is that they only use one tablespoon of cocoa. This creates a loving light hint of a chocolate flavour without it being overly rich. It creates a nice balance of flavours, almost a red velvet flavour without the red velvet. Not quite vanilla yet not quite chocolate.

    I hope everyone's week is starting off well. As well as any Monday can be! Mine has been a bit hectic and this week doesn't show any sign of slowing down. In saying that, I enjoy being busy so for me that's a good thing.
