This is day 7 of my #20daysofcookies campaign to post a new gluten free dairy free recipe each day. Enjoy the other recipes here.
This cookie has made me laugh a few times already. I recently made these cookies as part as a bake sale I was doing with Calgary Food Bloggers. At the bake sale I had a few folks say “moose?” as in “mousse” cookies?
Here again, I could have called these cookies by another name but to me they are moose cookies! I came up with the recipe after finding a moose cookie cutter at my local grocery store.
Here is the 7th new cookie recipe for the month of December, #20daysofcookies, where I will share 20 new gluten free cookie recipes from December 1-20. Make sure you subscribe to receive each one!
A new cookie recipe everyday. Not a recipe I have posted in the past, these are all NEW recipes! I’m pretty proud of myself!
