Gluten is not bad. but, some people are gluten-intolerant. i.e  the body's inability to digest or break down the gluten protein this condition is known as celiac disease. In general, if you can avoid cereal gains and it’s by products, it’s become Gluten free.

These cookies were specially baked for a three year old boy, who is a gluten-intolerant. So, thought of doing some decorations, to attract.

In a bowl add almond meal, coconut flour, flax and coco powder, keep aside.  In a bowl beat the egg, sugar and vanilla essence.

Now add the dry ingredient mixture into egg mixture and blend at the end add the chocolate chips in it.

Divide the mixture into equal size balls and place them on the prepared baking trays with good space between each and slightly flatten them down.

Transfer the tray into 180°C per-heated oven and bake for about 10 -12 minutes. Allow them to cool. That’s it for a crispy gluten free cookie.
