One of Hubs’ favorite part of Christmas is enjoying his mother’s traditional cookies. She generally makes 11-12 varieties every year and shares them with us. Since Hubs now has to avoid gluten and dairy (or pay the price!) he was disappointed to miss out this year. Thankfully gluten free peanut butter blossoms came to the rescue and very much enjoyed having cookies in the house that won’t make him sick!
They were easy enough for Sweet T to help make. She very much enjoyed baking with her Mom mom.
