on 9/4/2009 I'm going to keep this in my favorites to bake form my daughter. I prefer to use alternative butter. Great article!

on 7/10/2009 That does look good! I'd go for butter instead of margarine and maybe try to reduce the brown sugar a bit because I'm guessing it isn't important for the structure like the white sugar is (I know, I'm being too healthy - lol). But my healthiness aside, it's nice to see a gluten free treat recipe that doesn't have lots of weird gums and other gluten free fillers!
