I think I mentioned before that I read food blogs. They inspire me. There are a few I read more for their photography and just ideas instead of recipes. Lucullian Delights is one of those. I read her blog because I love her photos. But this Christmas she came up with a chocolate cinnamon pine nut cookie that sounded absolutely fabulous. Because of my Beloved, I needed to make it gluten free so I did.
These cookies are addictive! You have to wait to let them cool before taking them off the cookie sheet or they will fall apart but that did not stop us. It was one of those: STEP AWAY FROM THE COOKIES! If I can figure out how to ship them, they just may be in Christmas cookie boxes next year.
