FORGET 'EM COOKIES
Searching for some GF Christmas Cookie recipes and I stumbled across this one in Southern Living's "Our Best Christmas Recipe" book. It's easy to play around with the variety of candy chips (butterscotch/white chocolate, etc) or nuts you decide to use as well, so it's very versatile. Did not include cooking time because it's passive.

Tips:
- Use softened butter: Softened butter creams together with sugar more easily, resulting in a smoother and more evenly textured cookie.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to firm it up and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven. This results in a thicker, chewier cookie.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can result in tough, dry cookies. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a large baking sheet: Using a large baking sheet helps to prevent the cookies from overcrowding and baking unevenly.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown: Overbaking the cookies will result in dry, crumbly cookies. Bake the cookies just until the edges are just beginning to brown.
