The Way The Cookie Crumbles

With my new job, I do not go into work if the school in town is closed. So, my very first snow day was today. Let's face it, I am a beach kinda girl who likes a white Christmas, but the rest of the year would prefer 70+ degrees. So, as I sit inside and watch the kids play in the snow, I bake some cookies and get the hot chocolate ready.  Awesome mom right?  My 7 year old did declare that this was the best day ever and I was the best Mommy ever. 

(The deck is still a work in progress)

We are still gluten free at home so when I found the Betty Crocker gluten free chocolate chip cookie mix I snatched it up. I mean, it's Betty Crocker, that chick knows her baked goods. Now, I'm more of a cookie dough connoisseur, so I'll start with my (less than expert) opinion on the dough. Umm...for lack of a better word, weird. It was this strange crumby texture that fell apart. It tasted ok, but I really had to mash these into ball to even get them on the sheet. They actually baked up okay, but still finished with this fall apart cookie that really ticked off my almost 3 year old. They tasted okay and the kids liked them, but I'm pretty sure I could cook anything and as long as I add chocolate chips, they would eat it. I would give these a thumbs down. However, I did buy the premade tub of Pillsbury gluten free chocolate chip cookie dough a while back and those were definitely a thumbs up.
