Cookies...

Carrot Cake Cookie by Good Habit

I LOVE cookies!  Not just a little I love cookies!!!  Few things are as heart warming to me as a plate full of fresh cookies.  For the past few years however most of these plates of cookies have been off limits to me.  I'm not complaining.  I have managed to successfully alter a few recipes and found the time to bake occasionally.  When I do I pop most of the cookies in the freezer so I usually have something on hand to munch when the cookie monster in me strikes.  But what I like most, even though I love to bake, is when someone else makes me a batch of cookies.  I have found that someone!

I work with children for those of you just checking in.  Most of the parents know that I live gluten-free.  A few weeks ago M's mom brought me a cookie.  She said M saw it and wanted me to have it.  Now M is only 1 year old so you see Me is a very bright and thoughtful little person.  The cookie was called Apple Pie a la Mode by Good Habit and I couldn't wait to take a bite.  Oh my!!!  I don't care if you're gluten-free or not, you've gotta try this cookie!  It was so amazing that I carried the wrapper around in my purse for the next few weeks.  I finally looked the company up online and low and behold they are in Ventura County!  And even if you're not, they will ship. 

I had to find this place!  I vowed to devote a lunch hour this last week to finding more of these cookies.  Well, Friday came and I still hadn't gone in search of my cookies and it was raining.  No, it was pouring!  And I had left my umbrella in the car.  I don't care, I've gotta get one of those cookies!  I borrowed an umbrella and made my way through puddles and sheets of rain to my car.  The good news is there were few cars on the road.  Southern Californians are wimpy about rain.  I managed to find Good Habit at 1625 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd. in the fine city of Thousand Oaks, CA.  I bought more Apple Pie a la Mode cookies as well as Original Chocolate Chip, Carrot Cake Cookie and Oatmeal Raisin.  They also have a Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter cookie but I'm not a big fan of chocolate in my peanut butter...sorry Reese's. 

I ate a Chocolate Chip cookie on the way back to work and just finished the Carrot Cake Cookie.  So far the Apple Pie a la Mode is still my favorite.  If you're not wanting a cookie by now, check  your pulse!  These are amazingly good cookies!
