I made these cookies for a friend who is allergic to gluten. She LOVED them and wanted the recipe! I tried too... Very good - 15 Apr 2017 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
My hubby is on a Paleo diet so I made these for him. I'm not on the diet and normally don't care for the "goodies" I make for him. These were very good though and I enjoyed them too. Definitely making these again. Thank you! - 21 Dec 2016 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
