Almond Flour Cookies

Hope you enjoy this yummy little treat! I know I can't keep my hands off them when they come out of the oven! I found the recipe here. Sawyer and I eat them more as a cookies instead of shortcakes but I'm sure they would be great topped with strawberries and whipped cream! I added some xanthan gum to help hold them together because they were pretty crumbly the first time I made them.

Almond Flour Cookies 

2 eggs, room temp 

1/4 c. coconut oil, melted

3 tbsp. honey

1 c. almond flour

2 tbsp. coconut flour

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. xanthan gum

Pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Beat together the eggs, oil and honey.

Combine the flours, baking soda, xanthan gum and salt in a separate bowl.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until combined.

Drop the dough onto a baking pan and bake until golden brown about 20-25 minutes.

Sawyer would agree that these cookies will make you smile!

Gluten Free Play Dough

Sawyer had a blast with this play dough! And it was easy peasy to make! I used this recipe from Celiac Family.

Gluten Free Play Dough

1 c. white rice flour

1/2 c. cornstarch

1/2 c. salt

1 tbsp. cream of tartar

1 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil

1 c. hot water

Food coloring (optional)

Combine the dry ingredients in a sauce pan. Add oil and water and combine well. Heat the dough on low, stirring frequently, until it starts to form a ball (about 5 minutes).

Place the dough on parchment paper (I used a place mat) and let cool for a few minutes. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes. My dough was really sticky so I needed to add additional cornstarch (about a half cup) to make it "kneadable."

Add food coloring if desired and play on!

I was shocked that Sawyer sat a whole half hour playing! He loved it!
