  1. Yummy! Nothing like classic Toll house cookies, especially during this season when the weather is getting cooler and the holidays are just around the corner but you haven’t started with those pumpkin recipes yet. During the spring and summer we like to make our own candy, like lollipops, and homemade ice cream too.

  2. Just wanted to add how important that xanthan gum is even though you don’t need to add that much it makes such a big difference. The first time I made gluten free toll house cookies I left it out because I was so new to the gluten free diet I didn’t know how essential it was and the cookies were very crumbly and the texture totally sucked. So don’t forget that xanthan gum!
