Hello everyone! I am back with another delicious recipe. Today we’re making loft house cookies. These delicious cookies are fluffy and sweet but not sickeningly sweet. As you might know I’ve been starting to experiment with different recipes making them gluten free. This recipe turned out to taste good but because they are gluten free they turned out a bit crumbly, which then turned into a real problem when frosting them. Frankly they didn’t turn out as pretty as I had hoped, but that doesn’t take away from them being delicious! So pull your hair back, grab you mixer and get ready to bake!
