LOVE LOVE LOVE these bars!! The cookie is definitely crumbly (not doughy) as it should be. NO typical gluten-free aftertaste whatsoever & Not overly sweet. I made these for family and they were gone in minutes. Most of my family made comments like ..."this tastes WAY too good to be gluten-free." Thank you Betty Crocker for being a mainstream company who supports gluten-free products! TIP: Add slightly more butter than the recipe calls for as the dough has a much drier consistency than typical cookie dough.

I have made these for my volleyball and cheerleading teams several times and the girls LOVE them! They are a little crumbly, so I had some extra peanut butter to help them stay together a little better.

These were extremely easy to make. I actually melted the butter to make them less crumbly, which seemed to work out. The bars were enjoyed by the gluten free and wheat-eaters.
