Gluten Free From a Box

This weekend I baked from a box (gasp!)-- no it’s not my favorite way to make deliciousness, but it sure is easy. Just add one egg and a stick of butter and 15 minutes later you have gluten free cookies thanks to Betty Crocker.

If not wheat then what flour? Ol’ Betty uses rice flour, Semi sweet chocolate chips, brown sugar, sugar, potato starch, potato flour, leavening and salt. Coming in at 3000 calories (prepared) for all the cookies in the box, this is not a snack for those watching their waistline.

How does it taste? Honestly, kinda grainy. It’s super sweet consistency could be hard to adjust to if your used to eating wheat flour chocolate cookies. I found that if you freeze the GF cookies while they are still warm, it creates a soft texture that is tasty to eat while cold.

I would give this 3 out of 5 bites.
