aeverie's thumbprint cookies
These cookies are so close to my heart. When my daughter was diagnosed with Celiac's and many food allergies I was moved by love to create a homemade cookie that was safe for her. A cookie a small child could hold, enjoy and be a toddler. They have been a HUGE hit for years in our home. From kids to adults alike these have been enjoyed at family gatherings, parties and just because it's a good day for cookies day. These cookies are top 8 free and can be made Paleo too! They are super simple to make, no refrigeration required and just 4 ingredients. I hope your family enjoys them as much as ours has!
