Another gluten free recipe for a traditional Christmas cookie. These are melt in your mouth, want to sneak off and eat the whole plate by yourself good. I made two batches back to back so we’d have enough to give out as gifts! These take a maximum of 20 minutes to make start to finish. Only 8 minutes in the oven! Get the kids involved by letting them press down in the middle of the cookies. Make sure your butter and egg (yolk) is room temp. You want your ingredients to blend well!
