We’re jumping on the gluten-free train today. My husband has almost entirely cut out grains from his diet, which has done wonders for his overall health. His influence is causing me to try to reduce my intake as well, but I’m not nearly as disciplined as he is!
Today’s recipe was my attempt at meeting him halfway. I wanted to bake him something sweet, but with ingredients I knew he’d eat. So while these are no where near “healthy” (I mean, 3 cups of confectioner’s sugar? Come on!), they are delicious. I find them on the rich side, so you may only need a piece to satisfy your sweet tooth!
