Eureka! #GFCookies #sugarcookies #fluffycookies

I always taste the cookie dough? Do you?

I know we are not supposed to because of the raw eggs, but I have been eating cookie dough since I was a kid. The dough is an indication to me of how the cookies will taste once they are baked. GF dough is an especially sensitive indicator of how cookies will taste after baking.

This dough tasted different than the other recipes I have adapted and I thought...THIS ONE IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT! May even on the verge of greatness!

So, here it is. My newly adapted sugar cookie recipe. It has taken 3 years and many batches to find this adaptation. I hope you enjoy them.



GF Fluffy Sugar Cookies

Ingredients
3/4 cup All Purpose GF Baking Flour (Bob's Red Mill brand)
2 cups White Rice Flour (Bob's Red Mill brand)
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 cup Butter (softened)
1/2 cup Butter Flavored Crisco
1 1/2 cup Sugar (This batch I used white sugar. Next batch I will try organic cane sugar.)
1 egg
1 tsp Madagascar Vanilla (I used organic and farm made by my honey farm friend.)

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. (I have an electric oven. If you use another type of oven you will probably need to adjust the heat settings or cook time.)

In a medium size bowl, combine both flours, baking soda and baking powder.

In a large mixing bowl combine butter, Crisco and sugar. Cream these ingredients together until smooth. Add egg and vanilla. Mix until fully blended. Add dry ingredients in thirds. Mix until blended. (The dough will look more dry than you are used to. It is okay.) Take teaspoons of dough and squeeze or roll into one inch balls.

Bake for 12 minutes. The cookies will not brown on their tops. They will fluff and begin to crack when they are ready. They will be lightly brown on the bottom. If cookies are not lightly brown on the bottom they are not ready.

Take out of the oven and let stand for 2 minutes. Place on cookie rack to fully cool.

Eat with milk, coffee or tea to enhance the experience. Delicious!

Have a Happy Health-a-licious Day!

Digestion being Gluten-FreeFollow my blog with Bloglovin

Since the first day I started gluten-free. I have notice my food is digesting immediately. My system is also making much more noise. LOL. I am a little afraid to eat in public. I thought maybe it was just because I was eating so many grapes. I have found it is after every meal for about a half hour. The neat thing about this immediate digestion is that my stomach area is not bloated all day like it used to be. I do notice tummy bloat if I eat just a little bit of gluten on accident. For example, you would think beef jerky would be gluten free. apparently not. I ate a little. It tasted delicious. I didn't realize it had any gluten. The next morning I woke up with a funny taste in my mouth and a bloated tummy all day long. I didn't put two and two together until I read the back of the beef jerky packaging. Warning: Contains wheat and soy. My PA (Physician's Assistant) says my headaches will often get worse with major nausea. I am hoping the gluten free...

Sugar Cravings, Detox and More

So my hubby was selected by his company to be a lead in a certain group which meant he would be traveling for 4 days. Perfect, I thought. I will only eat vegies or fruit, and drink coffee, tea or water. My fav foods are vegies and fruit. I know I need protein so I eat it, but if I didn't have to I wouldn't eat it everyday. I love, vegies, fruit and desert. In fact one of my fav meals is a huge vegie plate and a pint of Hagen Daaz Gelato. So...I decided to do a detox while my hubby was out of town. $72.00 for what I felt was 4 days worth of fruits and vegetables. I did the detox. Only water, coffee or tea. Only vegetables or fruits. No sauces, no sugars, no condiments except herbs and spices. Every day about 3p, I started getting a headache. I would eat a piece of fruit. That wouldn't help. I decided after those 3 days that I am addicted to sugar. So I am now working my way to be sugar free with the exception of fruits. The holidays are proving challenging because of f...
