(GLUTEN FREE) MAGIC COOKIE BARS
I did a combination of two recipes, peanut butter cookies with three ingredients and magic cookie bars. My brother-in-law loves magic cookie bars but is now gluten-free. I have been trying to come up with desserts for him so he doesn't feel left out. This is an amazing dessert and will stay fresh for days...if they last that long in your house! Perfect for Passover - no flour!

EGG FREE, NO-BAKE COOKIE DOUGH (FOR EATING!)
Everyone has those nights where they just want to curl up with a movie and a bowl of ice cream or cookie dough. This cookie dough is perfect for doing so- it is low in salt, quick to whip up, and tastes absolutely delicious frozen. Homemade cookie dough is wonderful on top of all kinds of desserts, too. (When making cookie dough that is not being baked, leave out the eggs and substitute them with a little water if needed to avoid the chance of getting Salmonella.)

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients except for the water in a bowl. It helps if you cream the margarine separately and then add it to the bowl to avoid spending a long time trying to smooth out pieces of margarine. The mixture will be very crumbly and dry because the eggs were left out (to avoid salmonella issues when eating raw). Gradually begin adding small amounts of water until dough reaches desired consistency.
- Store in the fridge or freezer (not at room temperature or it will quickly spoil because it contains uncooked margarine). Eat with a spoon or place on top of pies, ice cream cakes, cheesecake, homemade icecream, or frozen yogurt!
GLUTEN-FREE COOKIE CRUMB CRUST
A gluten-free version of cookie crumb crust for pies. I've made this with butter cookies, graham crackers, animal crackers, and even vegan cookies. This recipe makes one 9-inch pie crust. If using for a pie that needs to be baked, making sure it is only lightly browned, or it may burn when re-baking.

GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE WAFFLES
A great way to change up breakfast and even make it healthier without them knowing! Getting anyone in this house to eat yogurt or milk that doesn't come from cows is sometimes a challenge. This is my way of sneaking in better options. Store leftovers in a freezer-safe bag and reheat in the oven or in a toaster. Will keep in the freezer for up to 1 month.

GLUTEN FREE JAM COOKIE
I came up with this brilliant idea to make cookies for all of our neighbors, family, and friends. I had four gluten free recipes, three from another gluten free blog and one from a gluten free cookbook. Two pounds of butter, four eggs, six cups of gluten free flour,eight hours, and one screaming baby later, I was completely ready to give up. The recipes were not working out the way I had envisioned! A couple of them tasted terrible, the other two either rose up too high or not at all. I went to bed thinking that cookies were just not going to happen this Christmas. But when I awoke the next morning, I realized that I could not give up. The world needs cookies! Heck, it's Christmas. Santa needs cookies! I recalled a childhood memory with my Great Grandma Dorothy, watching her make delicious sugar cookies, and how special it made me feel when I ate them. My kids, friends, and family deserved to feel that too. There are few things in this world that can make you feel more special than a gift of homemade cookies. I had to press on. When I started in the morning I didn't have much of a plan, but before I knew it I had mistakenly combined two of the recipes into one. Either by some divine miracle, complete dumb luck, or unknown brilliant skill, the dough turned out to be a nice consistency. The cookies followed and turned out amazing as well. I churned out batch after batch of little miracle sugar cookies. Some of them I smothered in chocolate and walnuts while the others were treated to double level jam filled bliss. Christmas was saved and my loved ones would not have to endure the depravity of a cookie-less holiday season. I had conquered and created a magnificent treat that is as delicious as it is gluten free. These can be enjoyed anytime of the year!

CARROT SPICE COOKIE - WHEAT FREE
Yield 48 cookies
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- Cream sugar and butter in large bowl. Add carrots, raisins, egg, applesauce, molasses and vanilla and mix well. Measure flour, allspice and baking powder into same bowl; slowly stir flour mixture into other ingredients and mix until well blended. Drop by teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake in 350-degree oven 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are set and lightly browned. Remove from baking sheet while still warm. Cool on wire rack.
Tips:
- Chill the dough: Chilling the cookie dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your cookies. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate chips.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal baking temperature for cookies is 350°F (175°C). Baking the cookies at a lower temperature will make them soft and chewy, while baking them at a higher temperature will make them crispy.
- Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you're sure to bake delicious cookies that will be enjoyed by everyone. So preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and get ready to bake some amazing cookies!
