Cranberry and Brown Sugar Pinwheels

Warm and slightly tart from the cranberries, these cookies are addicting and fun to make :).

Ingredients

½ cup white rice flour
¼ cup potato starch
½ cup sweet sorghum flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
3 TBSP melted butter
TBSP maple syrup
tsp nutmeg
tsp cloves
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 large egg
½ cup sugar
⅓-½ cup cranberries
Filling:
cup brown sugar
½ TBSP molasses
1 tsp maple syrup
¼ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
2-3 TBSP white rice flour

Directions

Preheat oven to 350

Combine all flours in a large bowl with salt. Add baking powder and baking soda. Stir in cranberries.

Melt butter, set aside.

In a large bowl, combine egg with maple syrup. Mix in the sugar then add the spices. Lastly, stir in the butter.

Slowly pour the butter mixture into the flour/cranberry mixture.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap then put it in the freezer until you’re ready to use it.

For the filling:
Combine molasses, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon. Next, add the brown sugar. Mix with a fork until smooth. Slowly add the flour 1 TBSP at a time until it is slightly pastey but not too thick.

Preparing the cookies:
After the dough has been resting in the fridge for about 15 minutes, roll it out between two sheets of saran or plastic wrap until it’s a rectangular shape that’s about 1/2 an inch thick. The longest side should be parallel to the kitchen counter, facing you. Lightly press the filling into the top layer of the dough. Roll the dough into a spiral. Freeze dough for another 10 minutes so that you can easily cut into it using a sharp knife; cut each cookie about 1/2-3/4 of an inch thick.

Bake at 350 for about 12 minutes
