I wanted to know if you published a gluten free Christmas cookie cookbook.
Hi Andrea, we do not have a Christmas cookie cookbook at this time.
Can I use monk fruit instead of sugar in the cookie recipes
Hi Linda! I have not tested my recipes with monk fruit in place of the sugar. Thank you for asking.
