She is simply amazing, funny, and beyond talented. When this latest book was released (January 2016), she asked if I would like to be part of the &#8220;bake around&#8221; for it along with a handful of other bloggers, of course my answer was YES! I am not paleo (however some of my recipes just happen to be paleo), I do have celiac disease and a dairy allergy so these recipes are perfect for me and anything to support Elizabeth.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"blogCenter aligncenter wp-image-219\" src=\"https:\/\/thecreativerd.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/fullsizerender-155x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/olculinary.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/fullsizerender-155x300.jpg 155w, https:\/\/olculinary.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/fullsizerender.jpg 377w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">(in true &#8220;Jenny&#8221; fashion, my eyes are closed)<\/p>\n<p>The recipe we were asked to make and share with all of our readers is accurately named &#8220;World&#8217;s Easiest Cookies&#8221;, I kid you not, these are the world&#8217;s easiest cookies&#8230;except for those that you buy in a package, but why would you do that when you can make these?? They are delicious to top it off. Light and fluffy bites of goodness. I made the batch and Bryan proceeded to eat more than half of them.
