The Recipe:
GLUTEN FREE MINT M&M CHOCOLATE COOKIES
* IMPORTANT…When measuring out your flours, DO NOT scoop your measuring cup into a tub or bag. This will result in using more flour than called for. Instead, pour or spoon the flour into your measuring cup, and level off with flat side of a knife. If possible, measure your flours by weight for best accuracy.
