This recipe is from Elana’s Pantry I go to her site often for great healthy dessert options. One day, I was making this recipe for a party and wondered what these cookies would be like if I used Olive Oil.
The results were amazing! I made 2 batches; one with butter one with EVOO and my guests taste tested both cookies, over and over again until there were no more! Needless to say, both batches were gone quickly and were a hit!
Try them out both ways; you will not believe they are gluten-free!
