These look excellent! I came here looking for a cookie recipe and had fun looking at your other recipes, too! I am a gluten free mommy of 3, one of whom is also gluten free. I blog, too, and put weekly menus up on mondays...come on over if you want to! That first year gluten free is a tough one, especially with kids...but you get used to it, and it gets much easier. You'll be amazed at how eating gluten free changes your whole family's diet for the better, and how second nature all that label reading will be by the end of the first year!
