Gluten Free Carob Almond Cookies

Hi Between my husband and myself we can’t tolerate, gluten, sugars, dairy, yeast. I’ve included a couple of our favorites.

I substitute-Baking powder – with vitamin C crystals.

Sugars of any kind – with applesauce, or stevia and on occasion Xylitol or I’ve even completely elimated the sweetener (sugar) from the recipe butter/margarine – with olive oil or coconut oil.
