Gluten Free and Vegan Cookies...YUM!

King Arthur Flour is the only flour I use in my house.  I buy their unbleached all purpose flour like it is going out of style (usually several bags at a time).  I have found, through trial and error (plenty of error), that they produce a superior product and one that I can count on over any other brand.

And so when I was given an opportunity by King Arthur Flour to review their gluten free cookie mix I jumped at the chance.

To make these fit my dietary lifestyle I made them vegan as well.

You know what?

You can't even tell by looking at them.

The mix is a brown sugar cookie base, so the options are limitless as to what add-ins you choose.

For me when I think cookie...chocolate is the first thing to pop into my mind, but I thought I would throw some cranberries in there as well just to liven it up.

The only adjustments I made to the directions for the mix were:

Earth Balance for butter

Ener-g Egg replacer for eggs

The cookies came out so soft.  Even 5 days later (yes I too was amazed they lasted this long) they were still soft and fresh tasting.

One very nice feature of the King Arthur website is that they list if each of the mixes can be made with egg substitutes.  Really helpful information for someone like myself.  I would hate to buy a mix and find out that it was less than stellar in the taste department because the ingredients can't be substituted.

I am generally not one for mixes, as I really do enjoy getting in the kitchen and creating it myself, however the quality that King Arthur turns out makes it just as good as homemade.
