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 |
| 1½ | TBSP maple syrup |
| ⅛ | tsp nutmeg |
| ⅛ | 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: | |
| ⅓ | 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
