Ah, Judy I’ve heard about those, but have yet to try them. I think I’ll have to do that this year with my daughters over the holidays!

Hello fellow Girl Scout, Louise!! When I sold them, I remember them being $1.25 and there were A LOT more cookies in the box! Everything’s gotten smaller in quantity yet goes up in price. 🙁
Enjoy making them at home!

Gail, you could try using gluten free flowers. I’m not sure how each cookie would turn out though as I haven’t made them that way. You might be able to do a Google search and find that there’s a gluten-free version.

I make mint cookies at Christmas time. I use a Ritz cracker I melt chocolate and put a few drops of peppermint oil in the chocolate and then dip the Ritz cracker in the chocolate place it on a wax paper covered cookie sheet . Place in the refrigerator . They are great mint cookie.

I bet Almond flour would be a great substitute as well!

Ugly, Fat, and Crabby, (I love the name by the way)
thank you so much for your well wishes for my friend’s daughter and also for your comment. I initially questioned the use of cornstarch in the recipe, but neglected to contact Nicole of Baking Bites thinking that it was the ingredient that would harden the cookie and give it its’ crunch. I looked on the Joy of Baking substitution page and saw that you can use 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour for 1 tablespoon of corn starch, so you would use an additional 1/2 cup of flour besides what I have listed here. You can also use potato starch and arrowroot in place of it, just check the page for the needed amounts.
Here is the link to that Joy of Baking page: http://joyofbaking.mobi/IngredientSubstitution.html
Any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me again!
