What Makes This Recipe Great
In my humble opinion the perfect holiday cookie box is a wonderful mix of exclusively Christmas themed cookies and a few strait up traditional cookies. Everyone loves the peppermint crinkle cookies and peanut butter drop kiss cookies, you always need to have a few extra chocolatey cookies and maybe a shortbread mixed in. These Gluten Free World Peace Cookies have been around forever, but we made them gluten free so everyone can enjoy the fun. These cookies are also traditionally made with no eggs so it’s the perfect cookie for a friend that may have certain food allergies.
You may be shocked by the idea of a an egg free cookies and how it comes together, but do not be alarmed. With the room temp butter and sugars being mixed first then adding the flour you get a great cookie texture that will stay together in almost a large ball. This will make it extremely easy to roll on the counter into a log that can be popped in the freezer or the fridge.
