October is National Cookie Month! What a great excuse to make a batch, right? These gluten free cookies are scrumptious! I love gluten free shortbread cookies probably because they have more butter than the average cookie recipe, but this recipe uses less butter and replaces it with a little nut flour. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Pizookie
BJ’s Restaurant Brewhouse makes an incredibly popular dessert called Pizookie, (pizza cookie). See my gluten free pizookie recipe below.) It is a warm, gooey, fresh-baked cookie served in a baking tin, topped with a double scoop of ice cream. You have a choice of several different cookies topped with your choice of ice cream. Most people either have to save room for this decadent dessert or many share it with others because it is such a large portion. Many people go to BJ’s because of this dessert! That’s how good it is! Be careful, though! It’s so good you may not notice you’ve eaten too much until it’s too late!
UPDATE – August 9, 2011: BJ’s now serves a chocolate chip gluten-free pizookie! Hurray!
Chewy Gluten Free Chocolate Cookies with Chocolate Chips
I not only broke down and made chewy gluten free chocolate cookies but made them with chocolate chips to boot, for a double chocolate delight! I wanted to duplicate the cookie recipe used in the Pizookies at BJ’s Restaurant Brewhouse. They serve you a warm cookie freshly baked in a large tin topped with 2 scoops of rich chocolate ice cream. They even add a square of Ghirardelli Chocolate. These cookies are to die for! Fortunately, theirs are made with gluten, or I would be sharing one every time I visited there. Due to their calorie content, I would not eat these cookies often, but they are a definite treat for guests and special events. These gluten free chocolate cookies are soft, chewy and rich with chocolate. Add walnuts or more chocolate chips. It’s up to you! Look for Pizookie recipe in tomorrow’s post!

Gluten Fee Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream with Cookie Crust
Traditional strawberry shortcake recipes are made with layers of angel food cake with a layer of whipped cream or strawberries and topped with one of the same. I used a plain gluten-free cookie recipe to line a ramekin; baked it; and tossed it in the freezer for a couple of hours. Once frozen I made some homemade vanilla ice cream; added a layer of it on top of the cookie; then a layer of strawberries in syrup; then another layer of ice cream; topped it all with sweetened gluten-free whipped cream and slices of frozen strawberries; and froze.
