These Decadent Cookies Are
Also Gluten-Free
(NAPSI)—If you think all gluten-free cookies
are also taste-free and serious-think again.
Here’s a recipe for delicious gluten-free cookies
that contain pistachios—the happy nut—white
chocolate and maraschino cherries.
The recipe was created by Carol Kicinski, a
professional recipe developer, Editor-in-Chief of
Simply Gluten-Free magazine (SimplyGlutenfree.com) and TV chef.
Many bakers are known to use maraschino
cherries to add color and flavor to cookies, cakes
and other dishes. That’s why it’s common to find
a jar or two in their pantries. That way, the
cherries are available when the inspiration
strikes.
Gluten-Free Cherry Pistachio White Chocolate
Cream the butter with the two sugars in a mixer.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating until each
egg is fully incorporated. Add the cream and
vanilla and mix well.
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a
mixing bowl and whisk together. Add to the
butter and sugar mixture and beat just until
combined.
With a spatula, scrape the bottom and sides of the
mixing bowl to make sure all ingredients are
thoroughly combined. Add the chopped cherries,
pistachios and white chocolate chips and fold in.
Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the
prepared baking sheets. Gently flatten the
cookies. Bake for 10- 12 minutes or until lightly
browned. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5
minutes, then remove to a wire rack to finish
cooling.
