Ginger cookies for friends

Not sure how many of you know this, but I do freelance blogging for Robyn Webb. She gives me the recipes, and I prepare them, take photos and post them on her website Fabulous Food Finds.
Why do I like freelancing for Robyn? Because it allows me to try new recipes, products, and gets my name and photographs to people who might otherwise not read my blog.

This week I made Gluten Free Ginger Cookies for Robyn's blog. You can find the recipe here.

I must admit, ginger cookies are not my favorite. The first time I made them was for a now-ex-boyfriend about 6 years ago, and I still have a bottle of molasses left from that baking session in my refrigerator. I've also made Hanukkah ginger cookies following Martha Stewart's recipe for Cindy and her girls a few months ago. Well, Robyn's recipe is a zillion times better than Martha's, and it's also perfect for all of you who follow gluten free diet.

I brought all the cookies that I made to work to share with my friends, and they were quite a hit. Although it's not a Valentine's day quite yet, I decided to make them in the shapes of hearts :)

Do you like my round mirror? I got it for free at a store that was going out of business! Love free things. I just asked construction workers that were taking things down if I could have them. There were a bit perplexed, but gave in.

If you are looking for some freelance recipe testers/photographers, please don't hesitate to contact me! I'll bring cookies.

These look too pretty to eat! Just kidding - I would gobble these cookies up in a minute flat :) I love making cookies and these look great to try and I think I could even use my favorite flour for perfection - Kamut khorasan wheat flour! YUM! Thanks so much :)

These would make a great Valentine's gift they are so cute! And I do like ginger cookies and if you like these but don't love ginger cookies i'm sure they are amazing. It is hard to find good gluten free dessert recipes. Can't wait to make this one!
