Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

My son is getting off the school bus this afternoon with two of his friends. One is a lovely, little girl who has celiac disease. For those not familiar with celiac disease, sufferers cannot tolerate gluten.

Most Friday afternoons, my little man looks forward to a homebaked treat. Let's face it nothing beats milk and cookies after a tough week of reading, writing and arithmetic. Now, I can't let him down. But, I also don't want this little girl to feel left out.

After searching for a flourless cookie recipes, I came across several for flourless peanut butter cookies. This one is adapted from one that I found here.
