Recipe’s story: As a young girl, my mom and aunt took me to this little bakery in Richfield, UT where we would devour cherry chip cookies! They were such a great summer treat with a fresh taste. This was a recipe I was determined to adapt to gluten-free when myself, my mom, AND that aunt all found out we needed to avoid gluten. I recently took them on a family trip and everyone loved them. In fact, there were hardly any left for the people who actually needed gluten-free because everyone else ate them! What an honor.
