Granola Cookies Twelve Days of Gluten Free Cookies | Granola Cookies (Day 9)
Our Twelve Days of Gluten Free Cookies countdown continue with one of my favorite cookies recipes. These cookies are very close to my heart as they are one of the very first gluten free recipes that I ever created. That’s right. Before I was the gluten free chef, I was a lowly single transplant living in Nashville, TN learning the ropes as a new teacher and figuring out to afford a gluten free diet out of my tiny kitchen. These cookies were the result of literally what I had in my cabinet and fridge at the time and a longing for a sweet treat. They were a fan favorite at the (now defunct) theglutenfreechefbakery and here on the blog.
