Gluten-Free Apple And Chocolate Chip Cookies

DSC_5033

I made this recipe for a celiac friend. I used gluten-free flours, trying to create a smooth and homogeneous dough. The result is excellent! These soft and delicate cookies melt nicely in the mouth, slowly releasing an intense dark chocolate flavour.

If you prepare this recipe for a gluten-intolerant friend , use only flour, potato starch and corn starch specific for celiac people, and make sure that the absence of gluten is clearly indicated on the packaging.
