christmas cookies




after we got greta on a sugar high with her donut, we decided to make christmas cookies. joe makes cookies every year, and was determined this year to make a cookie that greta could eat. he found a product called ener-G that is an egg replacer for recipes calling for egg. (fyi....you cannot scramble this product. we tried.) we were able to make the same recipe joe always makes, but we just used the egg replacer and a few other substitute ingredients. the cookies tasted just as good and it was fun to be able to share them with greta. i think joe and i are both thinking ahead a bit and don't want greta to feel left out or singled out on days like christmas if everyone is eating something yummy like a cookie and she can't eat it. she obviously had no idea this year. but when her cousins offered her a cookie, it was nice to be able to get one that she COULD eat and let them enjoy their goodies together.
