I'll be happy to re-post the gluten free peanut butter cookie recipe, but I don't think I'll do the swap this time. I might try something I see posted, though, if there are some really easy ones!

Okey dokey. Here's what we'll do.
I'll assign people, and we'll do the swap thing like we did for Thanksgiving.
We'll all post our recipes here so they are available to anyone who would like to try. Then if anyone isn't officially participating, but would like to share a recipe, they can post here too.
You must (eventually) critique the recipe that you're assigned to but you can try as many recipes as you like, and share your notes. |

I thought I signed up for this last week - if not, count me in! But I didn't do the Thanksgiving one, so don't know how it works.

Do they have to be cookies? I have a recipe for a fabulous puddingy-cakey thing, but you need a fork to eat it. Off limits?

If you did sign in PL, I'm sorry. You're in now.
We were doing cookies to be easy, but if the rest of the folks don't care, I say rules are to be bent. Besides - I know you're a great cook, so whatever you want to share I'm sure will be Yummy!!!
Tomorrow I'll post match ups. You'll be assigned to somebody. Somebody else will be assigned to you. Everyone makes the recipe that they're assigned and then shares if they like it, was it easy or hard, etc etc etc. |

Oops, I forgot to post my requirements! I can't use any recipes containing nut butter. I can simply leave nuts out as long as they don't form the bulk of the recipe.
Pippa, gluten-free? What about eggs? Dairy?

Oh, and btw- Margaret, please post that recipe anyway, even if it isn't a cookie. Make a separate thread if you have to, but I want to try whatever it is. You are an amazing cookie!

Mmm, no-bake cookies that taste like candy- my grandma used to make that. Does anyone know what that might be? And if we can do candies, then I have an amazing truffle recipe!

We're not strict with rules around here.
I was going to suggest anything that is dessert like and that you can eat with your fingers. Ya'll can do what you want.
Pippa - MJs potato candy would probably work for your kids if you leave out the nuts. I used potato buds instead of real mashed potatoes. maybe thats why they didn't work for me. |
