I baked my first batch of gluten-free cookies for Clara, my neighbor who had just gone gluten-free. She missed the simple joy of a warm cookie — and I couldn’t let that happen.

Some recipes come from cravings; others, from memories. My Strawberry Cream Cheese Dump Cake is one of those sweet memories.
