My daughter has Down syndrome and loves hosting parties, especially on holidays. Cookies always took center stage until she was diagnosed with celiac disease. I decided then to take on gluten-free baking, and these are the best yet-a cross between a shortbread and a sugar cookie. -Cheryl Costilow, Amherst, Ohio
