Healthy eating is all about balance so why not celebrate National Cookie Day? This is a go-to chocolate chip cookie bars recipe that we love ot make, they are so delicious! And they even are gluten free.

You could swap out the gluten free flour for whole wheat pastry flour instead if you rather. As far as flour suggestions, we love Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free Baking flour or Bob’s Red Mill Whole Wheat Pastry Flour. Report back if you make the recipe! HAPPY NATIONAL COOKIE DAY!
