Do you have a regular holiday cookie that you make every year? My family doesn’t have one, but I think it’s about time we start a tradition with a holiday cookie that is low carb and gluten free.
We used to get together with my husband’s family and make his grandmother’s traditional sugar cookie. It was a really crisp cookie made with regular flour and lard.
