Gorgeous photos!

I am a pretty good baker but cookies elude me - always taste a bit off in my estimation. But two cookies I do well: a basic chocolate chip (easiest cookie in the world!) and the Italian pinoli (pine nut cookie) which is basically a macaroon. I can’t make a simple butter cookie to save my life.

Some cookies are just plain hard to make and always seem to turn out wrong. It is often just easier to buy those types at the store.... :) yum yum

We have an even harder time making cookies in our house because certain family members have celiac disease and can't tolerate wheat gluten. That means having to use all sorts of substitute flours like rice, millet, tapioca and etc. and that can really change a recipe....
