    May I use guar gum?

    You should be able to use gar gum. The only difference that I found between xanthum gum and gar gum is that xanthum comes from corn based products and that gar gum comes from legumes. So as long as you have one of the two in them then the cookies should hold together.

    These were wonderful! I made them at xmas for my daughter who was recently diagnosed to replace our family recipie of almond sugar cookies. I added almond flavoring and underbaked them, as we love soft, thick sugar cookies. They froze well and tasted great. (even the dough was good) - 1/5/10
