I forgot all about this month’s round-up despite seeing all the reminders that popped up this week. I want to contribute something for those with allergies to dairy, nuts, eggs, and soy. I found this simple cookie recipe a few weeks ago and made them for Benjamin over the weekend. He was very excited about having some holiday cookies.
It’s a simple shortbread cookie. All you need is butter, sugar and flour. Now, I can’t use butter because Ben is allergic to milk. I didn’t want to use the milk and soy-free margarine he can eat because I was afraid that would make the cookies runny. I used butter-flavored Crisco (mixed with a little water) instead.
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter (I used Butter-flavored Crisco)
You don’t have to roll these into balls and squash them with a fork. You could roll out the dough and use cookie cutters. Here’s a simple icing recipe for decorating:
Mix these together to desired consistency and color, then decorate your cooled cookies.

Good for you for coming up with alternatives that Ben can enjoy too! It must be hard work…Blessings.
