These cookies are chewy and delicious! They were created for one of my children, who has multiple food allergies, but the whole family enjoys them.
I threw these cookies together in a whirlwind. I literally ran around my kitchen and pantry hunting for ingredients to put together.
My parents take the little ones to their house to play on Fridays and because of all of Griffin's food restrictions (gluten, dairy, chocolate, corn), it's less confusing if I make his lunch and snacks and send it with them. As I was getting everyone's stuff together for them to go, I realized I didn't have anything very much to pack for Griffin to eat, hence the running around like a nut.
I didn't really know once I got going if the cookies would taste good or not. I was extremely surprised and pleased when I tested them and they were actually quite yummy! I love when "goof ups" (like me not planning ahead or checking to see if Griffin was going to have food) result in something fantastic!
