Cranberry Ginger Sugar Cookies

These ‪#‎cranberry‬ ‪#‎ginger‬ ‪#‎cookies‬ look amazing! (The Holidays are coming...these remind me of christmas)

Cranberry Ginger Sugar Cookies – makes about 4 dozen (This is half the recipe in the book)
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups + 6 tablespoons flour (Bob's Red Mill One to One GF flour)
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (kosher salt)
1/2 cup butter (Smart Balance)
3/4 cup sugar (Raw Sugar)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1/2 cup chopped fresh cranberries
1 tablespoon chopped crystallized ginger
Directions
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, cranberries, and crystallized ginger until thoroughly combined.
Gradually add the flour and mix on lowest speed until just blended.
Place a piece of plastic wrap on the counter and place half of the dough onto it, shaping it into a log about 2-inches in diameter.
Do the same with the other half of the dough.
Chill for several hours in refrigerator until firm.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Cut into slices about 1/4-inch thick and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
Bake for 10 minutes, until firm, but not browned.

Homemade Seasonings

I found this on Pinterest. Several things I do miss about being allergy free. So happy they can be duplicated at home Make sure the minced onions are JUST onions. I personally would use kosher salt. Use raw sugar. Instead of sour cream use 0% greek yogurt. 

Homemade Taco Sauce

This is nice and uncomplicated! You know the only thing I'd change is the salt and make it kosher, other than that this recipe is clean. I haven't made it yet but I will the next time I need taco sauce! Homemade things are better!

Hough Bakery - butter cookies

Hough Bakery By  Gail Greenberg   &   Diane Rolfe Hough Bakery was an integral  part of me and my family's lives, (most people in Cleveland for that matter) I was heartbroken when they closed. I have  always remembered the cookies and doughnuts from this magical bakery. Their products were like nothing I had ever had before (and it was extra  magical because I was so little/young) I have been searching for about 30 years for something similar - no luck... but, thank goodness there are a few recipes floating around the internet!
