These cookie clusters are great as a dessert or even a breakfast snack. The recipe is flexible, letting you put in and take out ingredients to suit your tastes. Plus, it manages to incorporate brown sugar, almonds, dried fruit (or any substitute of your choice), and maple syrup, and even a gluten-free fiber supplement, so you can use 'doing good things for your health' as an excuse to munch on delicious cookies!

Using a pre-made baking mix can often be hit or miss. Truly making one your own comes by adding personalized ingredients. Thick coconut shavings give these cookies phenomenal texture.

Ever since my husband diagnose with celiac disease, he was a little bit depressed because he could not just simple go and grab something to eat. At the beginning, he tried to keep an open mind and went to stores that sell gluten-free products. Most of the time, he was disappointed with the taste of the products.

This recipe is exactly what you've been looking for as a fun, interactive and TOTALLY yummy cookie, any time of year. My kids and I change the food coloring, depending on the season: orange (Halloween and Thanksgiving); red or green (Christmas); blue (Chanukah/Hanukah); red (Valentine's Day); green (St. Patrick's Day); pink, blue or green (Easter/Spring); red, white or blue (July 4) ... ok, you get the idea! I love to use this dough at kids' cooking classes I teach, as it's totally resilient and can stand up to any amount of rolling out and cutting, re-rolling and cutting, .... and it's always delicious. Have fun and happy (any) holiday!
