I'm looking for a special-dietary-needs cookie idea...can you help? [View all]
One of my grand traditions is making a massive amount of cookies for the crew at work around Christmastime. It's fun and they enjoy it.
This year, we hired an exceptionally nice woman to serve as our HR director. EVERYONE likes her, which is something you don't normally hear about HR directors, right? And obviously she should be able to eat some of what I make. Well, there's a problem: she's allergic to fucking EVERYTHING.
On the very long list of things she can't eat are milk, yogurt, eggs, oats, coconut and cinnamon.
So I'm sitting here racking my brain thinking of all the cookie recipes I've got here - I've got many - and can't think of a single cookie that I make or could possibly make that doesn't contain at least two of those. She CAN eat meats, vegetables, rice and potatoes but meat cookies don't sound all that good to me.
I found online a recipe for graham crackers; what might work is making little round ones, putting a dollop of homemade marshmallow on them and dipping them in dark chocolate but without a tempering machine chocolate is such a pain in the ass to work with that I tend to shy away from it.
So...I need a cookie that contains none of the things she can't eat and preferably isn't a major engineering project. Any ideas?
