This fellow cookie fiend tried finding gluten free cookie brands. After finding one and having it crumble on her she realized there was a need for a better gluten freen cookie. She came up with the Mightylicious and not only included flavors she liked but flavors that are always on the top of everyone else's lists

There are so many flavors to try. The oatmeal raisin and Double Dutch chocolate are my favorites. .Te Double Dutch is so rich and chocolate-ly it's like pudding.

I also liked the salted peanut butter - how novel - and the chocolate chip.

The oatmeal coconut became a fast favorite of mine and I really enjoyed the brown butter chocolate chip.Both were very flavorful.

Another plus is that the cookies come two to a packet so they're perfect with slipping into a lunch bag or bringin on vacatrion
