Those finalists were asked to send two dozen cookies baked exactly to their submitted recipe using certified gluten-free flours for judging. The top three ranked cookies received the grand prizes.

Note: All recipes must be gluten free and made using Certified Gluten Free flours. For details on certification seals and identifying products certified by independent agencies, see the organizer’s article on shopping for safe gluten free products.
