It's hard to imagine a world without gluten free cookies - and frankly I don't want to. In honor of cookies everywhere I put together a delicious list of twenty one recipes for you. Unfortunately these pictures are not scratch and sniff (boo!) but they are only a spatula and an oven away!
This list includes healthy cookies, as well as not so healthy. I call those healthy for the soul!
