These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over from making other recipes, and these cookies are a great way to use them up.

These cookies were perfect! I used a cookie cutter to make them into fun shapes, and they were a big hit with my kids.

The cookies were a bit dry. I would recommend adding an extra egg to the recipe to make them more moist.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe by half.

I've tried many gluten-free sugar cookie recipes, and this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and chewy, and they have a great flavor. I will definitely be making these again and again.
