Last week I got together with old friends for an annual cookie baking party. Good company, tons of sugar, and frosting—what’s not to love? For my part I offered to bring peanut butter and make peanut butter cookies. The hostess knows I’m allergic to wheat and when she asked what we could make that was…

Homemade Gluten-Free Cookie Mix
If you’re giving out brownies, you might as well give out cookies, too, right? Again, I used one of my favorite recipes for the mix: Almond flour chocolate chip cookies. Since the full recipe didn’t fit in a single jar, I scaled the ingredients down a bit; don’t worry, though, because it’s still the same…
Peanut Butter Buttercream Sandwich Cookies
Like I’ve said before, I’m not a big cookie fan. I’m a frosting person. I was the kid who would break apart an Oreo or maple leaf cookie, lick out the inside, and put the cookie halves back in the box. You can’t imagine how much that thrilled my parents. I was going to fill…
Egg-Free Peanut Butter Cookies
Well I made it 4 days into December before breaking down and making Christmas cookies. I couldn’t hold up to the pressure any longer. The truth is I’m not the biggest cookie fan. I have my favorites(like peanut butter cookies) but on the whole would rather have something else. One cookie I love is the…
Double Take: Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
One of my most popular recipes on this site is the almond flour chocolate chip cookies. I never understood why it was so popular; sure, it’s a good recipe. But it didn’t get too much attention when I posted it and the pictures weren’t that great. It all made sense one day when I realized…
Gluten-Free Whoopie Pies
Who’s ready to make whoopie? I shouldn’t have been allowed to watch The Newlywed Game growing up; those euphemisms were not hard for a 6 year old to figure out. Also The Match Game; you don’t have to tell me where Alice told Frank to stick his blank. I got side-tracked. I meant to tell…
Make These Now
I’ll keep things short and sweet because that’s exactly what this recipe is: Short and sweet. And delicious. And addicting. And pretty fattening. But I can’t make a paragraph all those things. I saw a recipe for something like this in the latest Food Network magazine and was dead set on making it myself. It…
Amaretti Biscuit Cookies + Dessert Overload?
I’ve baked more in the past few days than I had all Summer. I love baking but usually I can’t(or rather shouldn’t) eat a whole batch of sweets by myself, so as soon as I get a chance to bake for others I jump at it. Here’s a sneak peak at what’s come out of…
Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’ve had a lot of gluten-free baking disasters happen to me. Cookies are the worst; there’s no protein structure in most gluten-free flours to keep them from spreading. When I read this recipe I was intrigued but skeptical. There’s no way a cookie could work with just almond flour I thought. Despite having doubts…
Mama Pea’s Cookie Dough Dip
What’s better than cookie dough? Cookie dough you can eat as a dip. When Jessica first posted her recipe, I think we all swooned. I didn’t dare ever make it with soy-based dairy substitutes, since I’m sure they wouldn’t have done her original recipe justice. Luckily, Mama Pea was inspired by my peanut butter dessert…
