My sister is having symptoms of gluten intolerance, but the multiple flours and all the "stuff" involved is a bit overwhelming for her.

Boy, do I remember how it felt to look at all of the strange flours and ingredients and think...what the heck?

I lived on Rice Chex until I figured out some recipes that were easy, like these awesome little jam cookies.

They're made from just a few simple ingredients that you can find at the grocery store. This is not a Skinny recipe, but they are really yummy and a big money saver.

A box of similar cookies at the store run $4.00 and these will cost apx $1.00 to make. They would be fun for kids to make too!
