  7. I just made these! They were amazing! Simplified them a little by just rolling into balls and criss cross with a fork. Baked on my baking stone. Allow them to cool thoroughly so they don't crumble on you! Very soft and chewy, or bake the extra 2 mins and have a little crunchier cookie. :-) They were luvvvved by everyone in the house! Will definitely make again, and now had a permanent place in the favorites cookbook! ★★★★★ ....♥, Celeste Teel

  12. Hi Serena.
    I'm thrilled with your reference to not having any idea where this recipe first originated. There are so many "original" gluten free authors now it's mind-boggling. And Kraft has even claimed a version of this recipe for the label on their peanut butter. I've been gluten free for more years than i can count now, and "back ion the day" there was precious little info or knowledge of alternative flours and/or grains and forget pre-mixed flours or products. Anyway, after much research and due diligence, i eventually purchased two cookbooks by the same author and never regretted it. This recipe was in the first i believe, originally published in 1990 ~ The Gluten Free Gourmet by Bette Hagman. The second was appropriately titled ;) More from the Gluten Free Gourmet. Bette's work was a true gift and lifesaver to many like myself who had no idea where to turn. I took what she taught me and built on it as have so many others. :)
