Tonight I needed a plate of some small cookie/snack to serve guests...but it needed to be g-free, and I didn't want it to be a topic of discussion, so I needed cookies that seemed "normal." I first baked a pecan shortbread made with almond flour. It was ok, but not great. So Carissa took pity on me and made some coconut macaroons, then she threw in a few of her chocolate truffles she had in the freezer (David and I didn't eat the truffles). I added some grapes to the plate, to have some fruit.
I was quite nervous about this little offering. I SO wanted to explain why the cookies were a bit odd. But I wouldn't allow myself to justify them. The guests ate one of each thing, so I guess that is good, but then, what could they do but spit it out if they didn't like it? Thankfully, no one said anything. I need to find some better cookie recipes though.
