Awesome cookies!! I used arrowroot instead of cornstarch and brown rice syrup instead of both sugars, so I cut down shortening and margarine to 3 tablespoons each. You're right, nobody can tell they're gluten free - dangerous, becacuse they get eaten up by non celiacs if you're not quick enough :D Made for PAC fall 2009. Thanks for posting these treats!

<p>I have always loved to cook and especially loved to bake. This was complicated when I found out I am a celiac, and had to stop using gluten (wheat, rye, barley) in my recipes! I pride myself on still making very yummy treats and modifying normal recipes, and people generally don't even know they are eating gluten-free food that I've served!</p>
