Chocolate Chip Cookies and Vanilla Brownies

I am always delighted when I can find ANY chocolate chip recipes that are both gluten free and vegan!! Chocolate Chip Cookies and Vanilla Brownies is a versatile recipe that can be make into either cookies or blond brownies.  Yum!!  How can you beat that!!

And then there are chocolate chip cookies (that are egg-free and dairy-free- earning them treasured vegan status). They also happen to be gluten-free, wheat-free, bean-free, soy-free and nut-free. Perfect for all those cute-as-a-button multi-allergic tykes out there. Not to mention, gluten-free vegan goddesses.
