Traditionally, my family is not big on sweets. At most of our family gatherings, there is no dessert or my mom will serve up something like fresh berries. That’s about the extent of my family’s sweet treats. A few years ago, my sister-in-law and niece, came over with gluten-free chocolate chip cookies, and much to our surprise, not a cookie was left. Since then, these cookies have become a family favorite.
Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and I know my sister-in-law and niece will bake a fresh batch the morning of while watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I cannot wait to finish my mom’s Thanksgiving dinner, snuggle on the couch with my husband, drink some coffee and indulge on these cookies (calories don’t count on Thanksgiving, right?)
I snagged the recipe from her the last time I saw her, so why don’t you try it this holiday season?
