Gluten Free Breakfast Cookies

Thought I would share this recipe for a Breakfast Cookie.  Although the recipe is Gluten Free, you can substitute the flours for wheat flour and reduce the amount by 1/4 cup.  But this recipe is so good, I don't think you will even notice it is GF.  Enjoy, and please let me know your thoughts.


Breakfast Cookies
Can also be made with regular flours. Eliminate xanthan gum and replace gluten free flour with whole-wheat and replace almond meal with all-purpose flour.
