Gluten Free Double Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

When eggs were part of my cookie recipes, my kids were always quite cautious about indulging in raw cookie dough.  I’m not sure where this timidity came from…certainly not from me.  I have always felt it my duty, call it a “service to my family”,  to test out the dough.   Worry about raw eggs?  Not me.  I figured if Rocky could down raw eggs, then surely I could swipe some cookie dough and survive unscathed.

Gluten Free Roasted Cauliflower Couscous Chicken Caprese Salad

Cauliflower is my favorite vegetable.  There’s simply no contest.  I am amazed at its versatility.  It is so much more than just a bunch of boiled white florets.  Cauliflower puree is nothing short of luxurious and is the perfect bed for a perfectly grilled steak.  Roasted cauliflower tossed in parmesan cheese and herbs is a snack-able treat.  Pureed cauliflower serves as a perfect and healthy base to any cream soup.  Pizza crust.  Breadsticks.  Cauliflower rice.  The possibilities are endless.

Gluten Free Cranberry and White Chocolate Sheet Pan Cookie Bars

Cookies are by far my favorite dessert to make.  The possibilities of shape, flavor, and texture are endless.   Cookies can be a casual, rustic treat like the classic chocolate chip cookie or can be formal and refined like the Macaron or Palmier.  Any way you cut them, I just love homemade cookies.
