Yum! I made these gluten free and used whole millet flour for the whole wheat, using 1 tablespoon less than 1/4 cup so it didn't become dry. For the shortening I used non-hydrogenated margarine. I make small cookies, so I got 48 out of this. Love them, they're really yummy :)<br/>Made for PAC Spring 2014
