Amazing Gluten Free Almond Butter cookies



While staying at my parents' house in Snowflake, my mom and I made these delicious almond butter cookies. (pictures to follow when I get home!)


The best part is how simple they are.


1 cup almond butter

1 cup sugar

1 egg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Beat the egg. Add sugar and almond butter. Mix well.


Roll into small balls (about 1 inch). Place on ungreased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten with a fork (just like with regular peanut butter cookies). Bake for about 10 minutes. Let cool.


I really liked these with some Nutella on top! Spoon Nutella into a corner of a plastic baggy and cut the tip of the corner so you can more easily drizzle the chocolate. Or you can just spread it on with a butter knife. Just be careful because it can get messy, as Nutella does not harden!


These cookies were great because they have a lighter, nutty taste. My not-gluten-free family loved these too!

Cocoa Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles are Gluten Free!



A lot of you may already know, but just in case...I was pleasantly surprised to find Cocoa Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles now say "Gluten Free" right on the box! You can bet we have a box of each! I really like to mix either of them with corn or rice Chex (so it isn't so sugary). Kate was so excited to eat a new kind of cereal. I love you Chex, but a little extra variety is wonderful!
