Major excitement ensued last week when a friend said someone had mentioned on Facebook that Trader Joe’s now has Gluten-Free Joe-Joe’s. A quick phone call confirmed that indeed, Gluten-Free Joe-Joe’s had arrived earlier that very same day. Off across town I went to find these cookies… I should explain the excitement. See, I’m not a…
Recon Cookies (or Almost-Scout Cookies)
These cookies, OH MY GOODNESS! I am over-the-moon crazy about these cookies and I’m pretty darned sure you will be, too.

I’ve been baking these cookies for years, starting way back in the gluten-full years, back before becoming conscious of what and how much I was eating.
