Well, after the last 3 cookie recipes being flops, I finally had a success!  It is about stinkin’ time!  Since I was feeling a little insecure about my baking, I decided to use a recipe from Carol Fenster’s 1,000 Gluten-free Recipes<\/a> to make these cookies.  Carol’s recipes have always worked very well for me, so I went back to the tried & true.  I was not disappointed!  I wish I could share the recipe with you, but it is copyrighted.  You can probably get the cookbook from your library & try some of the recipes out if you are unsure of the purchase, but let me tell you that this is one amazing cookbook (no, I am not getting paid to say that).  The pizza crust that I raved about here<\/a> is also one of Carol’s recipes.  \ud83d\ude42  <\/p>\n

Look…..they worked!<\/p>\n

Once the cookies cooled, I whipped up a quick frosting\/icing & we got busy.  <\/p>\n

Frosting<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

1-2 cups powdered sugar (depends on how much frosting you want to make)<\/p>\n

1\/2 – 1 tsp vanilla (again, depends on how much sugar you use; start with less & taste – you can always add more)<\/p>\n

1-3 TBSP milk (start with 1 TBSP, stir and add more milk until you get the desired consistency)<\/p>\n
