The boys and I needed a gut-friendly cookie, so I whipped these gut supportive cookies up. These crispy and chewy chocolate chip cookies are gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free and grain-free, too!

“Hey, hey, Mae: What’s the big deal about gluten and why does it matter for our health and the health of our children?” What is gluten? Gluten is a type of prolamin found in wheat, barley and rye.

“Hey, hey, Mae: How exactly DO you eat and why? How did you go gluten-free and dairy-free with kids?” Grandma’s brownies, chips, family-recipe chocolate chip cookies and pouches of fruit punch Capri-Sun were the high, yummy points of my childhood.
