Well, I am officially excited. I have recreated my grandma's Toffee Chocolate Chip cookies this year and made them gluten free! These cookies are seriously awesome. Just trust me.

Notes

• I used Better Batter gluten free flour blend. This blend contains xanthan gum. I cannot guarantee success with any other blend since I used Better Batter.
• In my experience with gluten free cookie baking, freezing the dough makes a HUGE difference. Don't skip that step. Just don't ask me how I know that...
