If you ask anyone that knows me, I'm a fiend for cookies. I'm talking Cookie Monster level. Back in the day when my diet was primarily gluten, I was going through several packs of cookies a week. I could walk into any café and probably walked out with a cookie either for immediate consumption or to hold on to for later. Nowadays, being a gluten-free Cookie Monster just isn't sustainable. Ready-made cookies in stores are smaller in volume than the glutenous kind and significantly more expensive (with the risk that they'll be disappointing).
My major qualm with baking chocolate chip cookies from scratch is the insane number of ingredients required. Almost all of the recipes I've looked over call for three kinds of flours, two kinds of gums, extracts all over the place, et cetera. I do want to tackle them eventually, but that's honestly a project for a Test Kitchen day, not a quick fix on a Sunday in between work and errands. So I went to the store, my mind already set on getting a pre-made mix, but then I went even further, by just grabbing a pack of gluten-free chocolate chunk cookie dough by Immaculate Baking Company. It's the lazy solution for freshly baked, chewy cookies without compromising quality.
Found in the dairy section, you pick up a pack, bring it home, pre-heat your oven, open the pack, place the already measured balls of dough on a cookie sheet, bake, and voila! Basically perfect chocolate chip cookies. Immaculate Baking Company definitely nailed it on the head with these. Personally,
I'm probably going to start having these on hand just in case something comes up (i.e. when I want delicious chocolate chip cookies in the blink of an eye).
