Almond Florentines
This week was a week of baking fails. SO MANY FAILS! I tried to bake vegan, gluten-free cookies with sorghum flour and that ended badly. I could taste the flour and it was just so chalky and gross! Then I tried to make chocolate chip cookies with Indian whole wheat flour and that turned out […]
