Hot cocoa cookies and a family dinner

Today is a federal holiday in Canada – “Good Friday” – so all the banks, grocery stores, and Dalhousie was closed.  Tim Hortons – surprise, surprise – was still open.  I guess Canadians need their timmies even on holidays!  I got a last minute invite to join my friends Dianne, Nichelle, and Janice for an Easter turkey dinner at their house tonight.  I asked if I could bring anything and they suggested that a dessert might be nice if I could manage it (again, the grocery stores were closed).  So I decided to give it a try.

I did have eggs, milk, gluten free baking mix, and sugar but not much to mix in with it – chocolate chips would have been nice and easy.  I did have honey, marshmallows, peanut butter, brown sugar, and hot chocolate mix though so I decided to it was time for a gluten-free baking experiment
