GF CSB, Month 3

The month of December is filled with holiday get-togethers, festivities, and traditions.  Many people remember having awesome cookies this time of year, but going gluten-free may have put a stop to that.  Sure, there are a few options in the grocery stores now, but it's the made-from-scratch, fresh and buttery morsels we crave. 

For this month's GF CSB pick-up, each member will take home an assortment of Holiday Cookies.  Flavors are:

~Lemon Cornmeal Shortbread (with a hint of coconut)
~Hazelnut Biscotti
~Meringue Stars (naturally colored sprinkles)
~Pecan Sandies (aka Mexican Wedding Cakes)
~Almendrados (flourless almond cookies)
~Hazelnut Cocoa Meringues
~Gingerbread Men
~Chocolate Chip Meringue Drops
~Almond Crescents
~Spritz
~Cranberry Orange Butter Cookies
~Coconut Macaroons (with a drizzle of dark chocolate)

With the exception of meringues, these cookies will freeze well, should you want to save some for the holidays.  Cookies should be stored in airtight containers at room temperature for up to three days, then refrigerated or frozen.  Meringues last indefinitely stored in airtight containers at room temp (never chill them or they may get gummy).
