the very first time i tried these cookies was at tacofino. my ultimate, ultimate favourite food truck. luckily, tacofino is not located anywhere near me, which is a good thing because it really is the only food that tempts me to give up this whole gluten-free thing.
anyway. one bite of this cookie and i was absolutely in love. actually.
i tried making a gluten free version about 3 years ago and they were amazing, but had loads of butter and made me feel sicker than if they had been filled with gluten.
the other night i needed a quick treat to bring to a friends house and i thought it was time for another attempt. get ready to have your mind BLOWN.
