    Cookie results have alot to do with the temp of shortening.Too soft & cookies will spread too much.FOR BEST RESULTS baking GF cookies chill dough at least an hour before baking.You will be surprised how much better your cookies will turn out.

    Thanks for sharing! These were the best cookies to date since my partner was diagnosed as celiac, however, they don't spread like it says in the recipe, so I just flattened them before, and that did the trick. I used carob chips and margarine to avoid dairy as well. Thanks again!

    Hey, thanks for posting this recipe! Figured I'd leave some feedback since it doesn't have much.

    I made these last night and overall they turned out really good. The batch made 25 cookies for me.
    I wouldn't go as far to say "you can't even tell they're gluten free!" like a lot of recipes do - something about the texture is very 'gluten free'. They're quite crumbly and delicate, like the texture you'd expect with an arrowroot cookie. That being said my non-celiac boyfriend looooooved them.
    I tried baking them frozen and unfrozen and found no difference at all. Even unfrozen these didn't spread much at all for me. They were super tall and poofy, didn't flatten too much, which was a pleasant surprise for gluten free fare.

    Overall these were rad cookies and you should make them.
