These here are proof that cookies can be tasty and good fo ya! Packed with flax meal and oats, these Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies also happen to be gluten-free and butter-free!

While those cookies were good, they were far from The Best Cookies Ever. In fact, I think Chick Fil A’s Chocolate Chip Cookies are better.

So, I did what any of us food bloggers would do, and set about making my own, tasty, yet gluten-free, butter-free, version. After fumbling through several batches to get the taste and texture drool-worthy; I finally ended up with the batch you see here. Chock full of chocolate chips and pecans, sweet but not overly sweet, and with a sublime vanilla scent layered in, these cookies were good! So good!

Now, I won’t say these are The Best Cookies Ever, but I guess you’ve gonna have to make a batch and see for yourselves eh?

How do I store leftover Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies to keep them fresh?
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
What type of gluten-free flour blend works best for these cookies?
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum is ideal for achieving the right texture and consistency in these cookies.
