An NPR story reveals the secret to perfect cookies: it’s in the gluten. Adding a tablespoon of water to a cup of flour helps it out. Who knew? Chemists, apparently.

There also is a good-looking recipe for Chocolate Crinkle cookies. The story’s worth a listen and read.
My ex is a celiac so gluten will almost kill her. So I spent a while getting used to Gluten-free cooking.
