    My daughter and her boyfriend made these as a treat for my husband, substituting Pamela's gluten free baking mix for the flours and potato starch because that's what I had in the kitchen. They were so amazingly delicious that my father-in-law, who has a very small appetite, ate 4 and asked them to make more! Thank you!

    Hi Julie,

    My cookies spread out on the pan like crazy! I kept the batter in the fridge for an hour, and then in between batches. Suggestions?

    Thank you!

      Temperature is often the culprit if the cookie dough is one that doesn't usually spread. Don't get the chocolate/butter tooo hot.. JUST until softened enough to stir chocolate/butter together... maybe chill your dough at least two hours/maybe over night ... and try baking the cookies on parchment paper... maybe your pan was too greased ... and try upping your oven temp. a little... Oven temps vary oven to oven and if yours is a little cooler than the temp you set it at that could contribute to the cookies spreading -- the heat would not be quite enough to 'set' the cookie before it spreads. I hope that helps.. I'm sorry your cookies didn't turn out quite right !! Hopefully next time they will be perfect !

    Thanks for the great recipes! Your blog has made the transition to living with celiac so much easier!
    I was wondering if you forgot to add the baking powder in the ingredients list for these cookies? I added 1 tsp as per the amounts in the original recipe and they turned out great!
