What is that wonderful smell? Said my daughter when she got home from school? I was making Gluten Free Lemon Cookies to give out to my son's Kindergarten teacher's and best friend as a Christmas Holiday gift. She came in and stared at the cookies with her eyes big and wide! I said, "Which one would you like?"...Knowing my daughter, I knew she would pick the biggest one. Yup, she did!
I am my happiest baking in the kitchen, I sing, I bake, I decorate, I make a HUGE mess.
These Lemon Cookies are in my e-cookbook Essentially Gluten Free: 30 Grain Free Recipes Your Kids Will Love. I came up with the recipe when I was doing the GAPS and could not find any yummy kid friendly recipes. This whole cookbook is pretty GAPS friendly and has lots of recipes that are pure and wholesome. They are also grain free. I am no longer on GAPS but this remains one of my favorite recipes.
Also, when I go to a local essential oil event, I love to bring these because it just shows you how amazing food tastes when you use Pure Essential Oils. They really are the best oils out there!! Also, this is my fastest dessert recipe to whip up! Be sure to roll the dough into little balls and gently press so they are nice and puffy like the ones in the picture. You can also scoop them, but they will be flatter.
One thing you must know about essential oils is that not all essential oils are created equal. In fact, most of them have fillers and are not pure. When buying essential oils make sure they are certified pure therapeutic grade. If you want to order the brand I trust and personally use, contact me at https://nurturemygut.com/contact/ and I would be happy to help you.
