If a fudgey brownie and chewy chocolate chip cookie had a baby, it would be this outstanding creation. I wasn't aware that powdered even had gluten so I checked and found this:" The simple answer to your question is the kind of starch they use. Most use cornstarch or tapioca starch, neither of which contain gluten, so most powdered sugar shouldn't contain gluten. If the type of starch isn't listed, don't buy that product.". Who knew!
