The dairy free chocolate chip cookies mix is then mixed together. You can still see some of the chocolate chips.

If the dough is very soft, place in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up. Use an ice cream scoop to create soft balls of dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment, leaving plenty of space for them to spread out.

      I haven't tried but gluten free flour can work well in cookies - definitely worth a try!

      Thank you :) do you mean the 6 pics at the end of each post? I use the [gallery] shortcode - not sure if it's a function of wordpress.com blogs or if there's a Blogger equivalent.

      Not for this recipe - I used Swedish Glace. I've never tried making dairy free icecream. Do you have a recipe? Thanks for commenting.
