12 Days of Christmas Cookies - Day 11

When we made gingerbread houses yesterday, I got a double bonus. The boys' mom is one of my dear friends and we had time to visit while the kids worked on their houses. She also brought a gluten-free cookie recipe we whipped up together. They turned out great!
