    Would you prepare or bake these differently if at sea level (Boston)?

    Hi M in Boston- As you know I am up here in Boulder at 5,000 feet. I have friends and family in NY and California who are making these cookies without any changes and said they come out great. Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks! Is there a brand of grapeseed oil that you recommend?

    Hi Again M- I am using Borges brand grapeseed oil that I get at the local health food store. I haven’t found organic grapeseed oil yet. Have even looked at suppliers over seas.

    I will find a good one online that I can recommend in the near future under the “purchase” section of the blog, since all the other main ingredients are listed there.

    Thanks for another great question!

    Wow - Elana - I just made these. I ground the almonds myself in my Waring blender - it actually worked. I sifted it to make sure. Anyway - this is my first gluten-free cookie so I’m a bit elated. My 2 year old daughter scarfed a whole one and I know my husband will try to scarf the rest. Please keep these kinds of recipes coming. I don’t have celiac but feel this is a healthier lifestyle for my little family.

    Jessica -Thank you so much for your feedback. I’m glad that your daughter liked the cookies and I will definitely keep rolling out the recipes! My family likes eating this way too –even the ones that aren’t on a GF diet.

    I was discussing with a group of friends what our “last meal” would be. Mine was Chipotle Chicken!

    Dear Elana,
    After having spent most of my earnings at O! Pizza buying your cookies, I have decided to make them myself. Your video is very helpful and I now have the confidence to attempt it!

    hi i wanted to say thanks for the recipe. i made them for my sister, who is trying to get gluten out of her diet, but since she’s not a total vegan (still eats eggs and a few kinds of cheese), what I did was add a beaten egg, and reduced the amount of oil. I also increased the amount of chocolate chips, because we love chocolate! The cookies came out soft and chewy.

    I love your recipes. I tweaked this one slightly by using a mix of stevia and splenda as the sweetener instead of agave nectar and I used Carb Safe dark chocolate instead of the Dagoba drops. The result is that I can finally have my chocolate chip cookies without the guilt and can I just say that Iv lost almost 20 lbs since Iv replaced the white flours and sugars with the almond meal and alternative sweeteners! Thank you so much for this site Elana. Youre recipes are helping me change my life.
