Albuquerque, NM

Everyone loves cookies all year long. Just in case you have joined the special diet groups, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a guilt free cookie that TASTES GOOD? Jeane Duane is a great cook and teacher. I’ve included her promo offer, because when she gave her talk at Natural Grocers, they sold out nearly instantly. But you don’t have to buy these, read below and use the recipe. A friend of mine and I were chatting tonight about fond memories of food and traditions from the old days. I loved that my Mom took time to teach me how to bake cookies and read the directions. It was a rare event, and those cookies were so-o-o- good. Now it is your turn to bake some cookies for your loved ones!
