Welcoming Home Friends

Favorite gluten-free cookie recipe

Our neighbors just returned from their yearly trip to Cambodia to do some amazing work with the foundation they started. I hope to interview them soon about their work for a future post. They truly are a very inspirational couple and we've been so lucky to have them as friends and neighbors. I decided to put aside my work in the green room for some baking while the little one was napping. I used my favorite gluten, sugar, soy, dairy, egg-free chocolate chip cookie recipe. It's amazing and always produces delicious results.

Can you read that recipe above? I hope so. I'm much too lazy to type it out. Basically you mix all the wet ingredients separately from the dry. Combine and stir well. DO NOT taste the batter. It is absolutely revolting and you will never believe the cookies will actually be edible. I use this mix which I think provides good results. I also use agave nectar or honey in place of sugar. Bake at 325 degrees F for 15 minutes or so.

Gluten, soy, dairy, sugar, egg-free cookies

They look like real chocolate chip cookies, don't they?! They taste a lot like the real ones too.

Welcome Home Basket

So when the little one awoke, we packed up the cookies and a card I made (using a photo of Fred's lovely woodpile) in her favorite basket, grabbed a cookie for the road and bundled up.

Off to see Fred and Kitty

We took a lovely walk down the road to drop off the "welcome home" basket. The little one insisted on her bike and not the stroller or carrier. Thank goodness it has a handle for me to push it. We had a great visit with Fred and Kitty and heard some fabulous stories about their trip. And to top it off, they loved the cookies and didn't have a clue they were gluten-free until I told them.

Stay tuned tomorrow for the winner of the Bluebird Bag giveaway!

Um...xantham cum? lol

I really like the card!

Oh, and I'd probably really like the cookies too, only I can't have cookies right now, and I'm rather bitter about it! lol

melody-I fixed it. Phew...thanks for pointing that slight typo out. For the record...*I* did not type this recipe up; my friend did!

A handle on the bike, that's a great idea. I still remember the back aches I'd get from leaning over my daughter's little trike while I was helping her. Those cookies look delicious. have a great day.

won't you be my neighbor? fred and kitty are lucky ones, all right.

and, i have to say that i'm laughing about the notion of making chocolate chip cookies and not eating some - okay, a lot - of the dough!!

they look scrumptious!! i agree with sarah, won't you be MY neighbor?!

this post came at the perfect time for me...I have been looking for a good gluten, dairy, and egg free cookie recipe. We recently found out that my husband is allergic to wheat and dairy, and my son is gluten, dairy and egg sensitive. I even have all the ingredients on hand too. Yum!

They look scrumptious. I wonder how many people still wont be able to resist trying the batter?I know that I am terrible for stick my finger in the batter without thinking,I must remember not to do it!!!!
I hope you are keeping warm up there.I cannot wait to see your finished dress.
Take care

Hmmm yes, I'd love a nwighbour like you too!

Hmmm yes, I'd love a neighbour like you too!
