In recent years, many have changed their diets to gluten-free. This can be such a drag, especially if you grew up eating wheat. Cutting things out at this point in our lives is hard, especially in college when everyone is getting food on the go. So much drunk food is cut out when you don’t eat wheat. Pizza, am I right? One of the most difficult places to cut gluten is in the form of cookies, cakes, brownies and other sweets where wheat is the main ingredient. Luckily, baking companies have gotten more in tune with catering to people who need to eat gluten-free. Betty Crocker, for example, has a great recipe for gluten-free sugar cookies. These cookies are a great substitute for traditional cookies, and after taking one bite, you’ll be asking “What’s gluten?”.
