Getting together at the holidays always reminds me that the “one-recipe-fits-all” concept is rather dated. Today, people are allergic to nuts, gluten, anise, and lactose. They have aversions to meet – or even anything containing animal byproducts whatsoever. There are people with diabetes who need to watch their sugar intake, people with high cholesterol who need to cut back on saturated fats, and dieters who just don’t want to consume so many calories. So what’s a baker to do? You may not be able to appease everyone, but here are some non-traditional recipes that are just as scrumptious as the cookies grandma used to make!
