I made these cookies with Pamela's All purpose gluten free flour. Out of 45 cookies baked on Friday, I have exactly 4 left on Tuesday. These are the most delicious cookies made with gluten free flour I have tasted yet. My family loved them as did my co-workers.

These are absolutely delicious. Very easy to make too. These will be one of my "go-to" cookie recipes from now on. Thanks for sharing!!

I made these for the first time today, using Mini Rollos. I would use a teaspoon to scoop the dough, press in the mini rollo, and take off any extra dough before rolling into a ball. I only had 2 cookies where I didn't center the rollo and there was some leakage, but these were gifts to the baker. The cookies are rich tasting, and though sweet, not cloyingly so.

Next time I make them, I am going to add some cream cheese to the dough, and also try some cayenne pepper in another recipe. My hubby would have loved these cookies.
