Delicious Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love sweets; cookies, cakes, cupcakes, doughnuts, it doesn't matter I love them all.  The worst part of eating gluten free is having to give up many of these sweets at my favorite restaurants.  My solution is trying to find homemade recipes to satisfy the void.  I recently found this chocolate chip cookie recipe and it has quickly become my go-to to satisfy my chocolate chip cookie craving.
