Way back when I found the first gluten free brownie mix, I had missed a certain cookie more than anything. What better to do than make my own. I would bake a batch of brownies from the mix and crumble them into whipped topping and stir. I'd eat until I'd make myself sick. Now, of course, for $5.00 a pack, I can buy those favorite cookies, and no longer have to make my own. They aren't the same name brand, though they taste the same. This recipe is remembered in case the company quits making them, as happens occasionally.
