Gluten-Free M&M Cookie Bars

I’ve mentioned it before- cookies are a weakness of mine. There are few things better than a warm, fresh baked cookie. Or in this case, fresh baked cookie bars.

When I first developed gluten-intolerance, I thought fresh baked cookies that actually tasted like real cookies were a thing of the past. That’s why I was so excited when I realized that the right gluten-free flour can make cookies so good that no one can tell they’re gluten-free!

I’ve tried most of the gluten-free flours available at our local grocery store, and the best by far has been Bob’s Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour. We discovered last month that our Sam’s Club carries large bags, so I’ve had plenty of fuel for baking lately!

Do you have a favorite gluten-free flour? I’d love to try it. Leave a comment below to tell me about it!

Seriously, these bars are dangerously good, and no one will know they’re gluten-free. In an attempt to prevent myself from eating the entire pan of cookies, I brought these to a get-together with friends. They loved them! They also passed the test at a family get together.
