Nicole,
Thank you so much!! ❤

Hello and thank you, Nicole.
Could you share a work around for the coconut oil? My daughter has gluten sensitivity, but is also having full blown allergic reactions to kiwi and apparently coconut. – they’re cutting into our options.
We are in our first holiday season of baking GF. All help with trial & error is a blessing. Thanks again & Happy Thanksgiving
Hi, Christine,
I assume you’re talking about the coconut oil I suggest for a chocolate filling? That’s super easy to replace. You can use Spectrum brand nonhydrogenated vegetable shortening. It works perfectly! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well!
Making these for Christmas for my granddaughter!
Oh my goodness these were amazing!!! My new favorite cookie…until your next cookie recipe, that is. :) My family devoured them and even my extremely picky eater ate one (without pecans, of course) and said “Yum! My favorite part is the caramel in the middle.” That’s huge for him. So I have to give you props!! I was told I’m the best mom ever but since it’s your recipe I’ll take second place. I’m good with that. :) Thanks for all your awesome recipes and all you do to make gluten free baking a joy. You rock!!
Yummo! Thanks for the substitution suggestions :) can’t wait to try these!
Pleasure, Jen! :)
Mmm! I love turtle..anything! Can’t wait to try these! Thanks!!
Turtle flavors are magic, Laura!
