Wait! These aren’t just your ordinary crinkle cookies… I used a plant-based cream cheese alternative to shake up the flavor and Better Batter Gluten Free Flour so these cookies can be eaten by crowds on all kinds of diets: gluten-free, plant-based and (of course) free from all eight of the common allergens, so they can be eaten by food allergy friends, too!
This month is all about showing love, so why not be a little extra thoughtful of all your friends and whip up a batch of cookies for your next party or event that everyone can enjoy?
