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!

The December Adventure to Find a Delicious & Simple Gluten-Free Bread Recipe

Oh my goodness. I have tried a GF bread mix, GF flour, a mix of GF flour and rice flour all...yuck. Still the best GF bread recipe I have is cornbread. In fact, last week we turned it into a jalapeno cornbread. Now we are going to try a jalapeno & cheese cornbread. Amazing!! Add some beans on top and some GF chicken broth on top. Yummy. The Adventure 1. The GF recipe said, put all the dough in ONE bread pan and let rise to the rim and bake. Since I have baked homemade bread in the past, I thought, "Hmm. This sure is alot of dough for only one bread pan." And...it was. As it baked, it rose five inches above the bread pan itself. It browned on the outside and cooked the appropriate time, I took it out and it was not cooked on the inside. I laid it on a cooling rack like instructed, the bread collapsed. Very bizarre. I think the directions on the GF bread back need to be changed. LOL 2. I took an old recipe from my Grandfather and adapted it, adding GF baking flour an...

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                                     ...
