L used to say when she was a bit younger that she "needed" a cookie. I used to patiently correct her - "No, honey you want a cookie. There is a difference."
Well, after a bit over 6 months being wheat-free - I have to say that she was in fact right. Sometime you do just need a cookie. I mean I miss crunchy. (Ok, wheat free cookies are not crunchy, but that is a different story.....) I miss the round shape. I mean cookies are really great.
Well I have to say, after trying many and being disappointed, that I have found something, that is very good. Not going to replace TollHouse any time soon, but they are good and they do fulfill that need for a cookie.
So go check out the Alternative Baking Company. They sell VEGAN cookies and 2 varieties of WHEAT-FREE cookies. The vegan cookies are naturally dairy and egg free. Which is good for all of us with food issues!

why aren't they crunchy?
I think that most wheat free cookies are not crunchy, because they are also largely bad fat free (like trans-fatty stuff and certainly lard free!) also they then to be vegan - so milk and egg free. Lots of emphasis on natural sugars. So the combo means no crunch. I have found some brownie bits, which when eaten with fruit aren't terrible.
These ABC cookies are very close to the "real" thing and they do hit the spot. The Barley flour is alot like wheat flour....
