Imagine a plate full of delicious cookies that melt in your mouth, filled with ooey-gooey fruit preserves and glazed to perfection. As you step closer, your nose detects their mouth-watering smell. Your hand reaches towards the plate, you slowly grab one, and take the little bite of heaven. You keep saying to your self, "Just
one more...", but they are
so addictive!
These cookies are from
Gluten Free Mama's new cook book,
In The Kitchen with Gluten Free Mama. I took the recipe and altered it, which I
always do! These cookies would be great for a tea party, or just snacking. They are fun to make with the children, too. I know you are dying for the recipe, so I won't torture you any longer.
