Cookie Tree

As an engineer's wife, specifically a structural engineer's wife, I'm ashamed of how my cookie tree turned out. 

Yes, that is my doting husband helping the crumbling cookie tree stay upright long enough to get a picture taken.  He had no part in the assembly of the tree, however. 

In my defense, gluten-free cookies are quite different than their gluten counterparts.  I think this would work well about half the size.  Gluten is like the "glue" that holds most bread-like treats together.  Still, I hang my head in shame. :(  It has been a delicious treat all the same, though.

  1. hmm... Maybe if you frosted the bottom of the cookies or dipped them in a glaze they'd hold together better? I tried that trick with some of our maple sugar candy that wasn't holding together so well...

    Anyway, it still looks delicious to me!
