Introducing ...the "WOW! These are gluten free cookies?" cookies

Hannah came up with a winner.  She tweaked a family favorite cookie recipe.   Tweaking to make something gluten free can be very discouraging.  Often gluten free can taste metallic, or the texture can be gritty, or not hold together well.  Ingredients are not cheap, so when you have a fail, it's a big bummer! 

You know you have a "keeper" when the older brothers say, "WOW, these are gluten free?"

These are gluten free, dairy free, and peanut free.  Stash this recipe away for a "Go-To" when you need a cookie that not only tastes great, but works for those with food sensitivities.
