I recently received a free copy of The Essential Gluten-Free Cookie Guide in the mail from Tomoson. Granted I’m not allergic to gluten, I do have friends who are severely affected by it and I always have trouble trying to figure out what to make for them for dessert. I usually end up being totally lame and giving them a fruit salad ( I know, I know). Now, I won’t have to feel like such a douchebag anymore. This cookbook is full of flourless cookie recipes and most of them use xantham gum as a ways of getting around flour. That is actually the only weird ingredient I found in the cookbook, which in my opinion is fine. I’d rather have to search for one rare ingredient than 20.
I tried the Fluffernutter Cookie recipe because it only required 5 ingredients! #WIN! Plus, I love peanut butter and marshmallows. Hopefully your gluten-free friends aren’t also allergic to peanut butter because that would suck. :-/ The peanut butter cookie is super dense and rich since there isn’t any flour. You definitely need a tall glass of milk to enjoy with these cookies, but they were delicious! A nice little treat that will satisfy any sweet tooth, gluten-free or not.
