last weekend i made some paleo-friendly christmas cookies, from this recipe.
because there is no real flour to hold it together, it was ridiculously difficult to get it off the parchment once you used the cookie cutter. that was a bit sad. but then for the last round i tried just putting the cookie cutter on the cookie sheet and kind of 'stuffing' the dough into it. and it worked great! it's not as fun (i didn't even bother trying to involve lumi in the cutting because both of us would have been very frustrated) but everyone in the family enjoys the shapes. kimmo has this pig cookie cutter that he loves, so i try to make sure he has a few pig cookies every year.
the author suggests putting the cookies in the freezer and eating them directly from there. that sounded absurd, but we tried it, and she is totally right -- that is the best way.
lumi doesn't seem to have skin issues or GI issues, so i don't think she is sensitive to gluten. thus we're not pushing her to do the paleo thing. we still try to minimize the amount of bread she eats, but it's not worth creating an issue at daycare about. and since i like doing cut-out cookies and normally it's fun for kids, i think i'm going to try to do a non-paleo recipe of heart cookies for valentine's day. lumi can take them to share with daycare, i guess.
