Sounds great but I'll post for the lazy cooks out there. Get Pamela's choc. chip cookie mix (also makes pan bars) and then try really hard not to gorge yourself on them. I bought some for an upcoming family reunion and I'm not sure I can keep away from them for a whole month! They are the best choc. chip cookies I've had in life - gluten or no gluten!

Pamela's mixes are sold at Whole Foods and many health food stores. If not in your area, try www.pamelasproducts.com to see how to get them.
