Peter's Easy Gluten Free Cookies

Submitted by gemini jodi

"My son, Peter, really misses his "glutened" cookies. These are easy to make (for an 8 year old) and makes life without gluten a little bit easier. Megan, my baking friend-extraordinaire, gave me the recipe, and I wanted to share it with the rest of my family & friends who always ask "What can I make for Peter?""
