Day 133 ~ frozen waffles and chocolate cookies...the good and bad of g-free

Today I pulled out some frozen waffles from 2 different batches of g-free waffles (different recipes) I have made over the weeks. As usual, (it seems) even though they were great fresh made...they were truly terrible reheated! So sad...I used to love having frozen ones on hand. I threw them all away. I hope I don't clog the landfills with the bad g-free breads I have made!

This is getting a little discouraging. I believe you can find good bread product recipes for gf cooking...but I have only happened on a couple so far!

Not to be totally gloomy though, here is a picture of a delicious, chocolaty, different but still good cookie that I made last week:  Flour-less, Butter-less, Very Chocolate Cookies
Here is how I made them:
the ingredients are cocoa, powdered sugar, egg whites, vanilla, and chocolate chips--that is it! All that is simply stirred together.
The cookie scoops out in blobs, but bakes up crisp and shiny.
They are a little odd though, with hollow backs and holes--the batter bakes sturdy and crisp--sort of meringue like. But the good news (besides that they taste good!)? They are good the next day, and they freeze just fine! So this is a keeper for me!
