[Bonus Post] Gluten Free Cookie Recipes

For those interested in the recipes I mentioned – I’d post pictures but there weren’t any left…

Gluten-Free Maple Shortbread Cookies
1 cup (2 sticks) butter – very softened but not melted
½ cup maple syrup
2 cups gluten-free flour – Brown Rice Flour worked well
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp xanthum gum (may be optional?)

Cream the butter and the maple syrup until close to smooth.
In a separate bowl combine flour, salt, and xanthum gum (1/4 tsp per cup of flour)
Mix flour mix with butter-syrup until well combined.
Drop balls of dough onto cookie sheets or baking stones and chill for AT LEAST 30 min.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.

If you WANT – you can top the cookie with pecans or walnuts before chilling, but I think they’re fine without.

These have gotten some AMAZING reactions…
