The Best Gluten-Free Cookie I Ever Tasted: Carolyn Haeler on Elevating Gluten-Free Cookies

from Decisions at the Fulcrum · host William Hoffman, Ph.D.

In this interview episode of Decisions at the Fulcrum, Dr. William Hoffman speaks with founder and CEO of Mightylicious Carolyn Haeler about the decisions that emerge when necessity, taste, and enjoying food are immediate and abrupt. What began with a celiac diagnosis became Mightylicious, a quest to make the best gluten-free cookie consumers ever tasted.  Carolyn Haeler reflects on her path from finance to food, a peculiar challenge of formulating a cookie that tastes better without wheat flour, and a realization that gluten-free baking had been framed as a managed compromise rather than an indulgence. What a cookie ought to be! We talk about the effort and strategy behind finding clean ingredients that won't reduce gluten-free treats to flatbread. Today, you can find her very own cookies and specialized flour at a wide range of retail grocery sellers (links below). This is a story about a cookie that delivers on taste and texture without gluten.🍪 From diagnosis to formulation to shelf placement, Carolyn Haeler’s story offers a case study in how meaningful reinvention often begins with a serious inquiry: why shouldn't this be the best cookie I ever tasted?
