I promised at my shows this fall that I would post recipes. I'm sure I'm not alone in this time of year being busy so, they did not get posted as quick as I had hoped. Hopefully this gives you enough time to create some delicious gluten free goodies for your friends and family as we approach Thanksgiving. ​God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving!

Holiday Cookies

Sugar Cookies
1 Cup Unsalted Butter
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
1 Egg
2 tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Salt
3 Cups Flour (Recommend half Cookie Blend and half All Purpose
 
Preheat oven to 350. Cream butter and sugar. Beat in extract and egg. In separate bowl combine baking powder, salt, and flour and add to the wet ingredients. The dough will be stiff. Roll onto a floured surface and cut. Bake for 6-8 minutes.
Use this recipe to make:
-Window cookies with crushed hard candy in the middle
-Pinwheel cookies, divide the dough and add food coloring and peppermint extract to half. Roll each half into sheets then stack and roll.
​

Gingersnap Cookies
2 Cups Flour (Recommend half Cookie Blend and half All Purpose)
1 tbsp Ground Ginger
2 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Cinnamon
½ tsp Salt
¾ Cup Shortening
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 egg
¼ Cup Dark Molasses
 
Preheat oven to 350. Sift flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a mixing bowl. Beat the shortening until creamy, gradually add granulated sugar. Beat in the egg and dark molasses. Slowly add the flour blend to the wet ingredients. Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until tops are rounded and slightly cracked, approximately 10 minutes.

Microwave Cakes

These cakes can be cooked in a coffee mug or I found some cake cup papers that are about 4 inches across that these bake very well in.

That sounds really good, thank you!
But what I am missing in your product line is the All purpose flour.
I would be interested in whole grain flour as rye flour. Do you have that ?
I couldn't find any in your products.

Hi Baerbel!
I keep my my product line gluten free so, rye is not a grain I process. The only whole grain I offer is millet since that is our main crop. Thanks for your comment!
