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!

Everyday Eating & Mardi Gras

The beauty of eating gluten free is that it is simple. It takes you to core eating. Healthy foods. The difficulty is finding delicious healthy foods. Here are some of my everyday staples. Mind you, I love vegetables. Fresh vegetables are my favorite. Flash frozen are a far second. For a quick fun snack or even meal. Fresh green beans and Bella mushrooms. Microwave in a covered dish for 2-3 minutes to steam.   For fun and food variety each month, my hubby and I like to follow themes with the seasons. This year we had home cooked New Orleans cuisine on Mardi Gras Tuesday. A great tasting gluten free sausage was our mission. We found one we love, Aidelles Cajun Andouille Sausage. Be ready, it is spicy. It is everything you are looking for in a sausage. Gluten Free, no MSG, no Nitrates, no added Hormones, no artificial ingredients. Whoo! Almost like making your own sausage. We tried Zaterain's Jambalaya mix last year. We tried Zatarain's Dirty Rice thi...

Make Ahead & Freeze Gluten Free Recipes.

After 8 months of gluten free eating my husband is on board to cook gluten free meals for me. He is an amazing cook. He is creative, follows the recipe and adds his own flair to make the recipe all his own. He even came in 2nd at a huge chili cook off at our church. He has created two new home recipes for me. Both are make ahead recipes. Both are freezable. In our household we like to cook twice a week. Enough to be evening staple meals for two or three days. With only two of us it makes it easier than most families of 4 or more. With these new freezable recipes we have been trying, we can cook on Sunday and have meals for a month if we choose. These recipes can stay in the freezer for up to 3 months. Pizza Tot Casserole 1 1/2lbs ground beef                                     ...
