Recipe: Gluten Free Pecan Cookies

Gluten free pecan cookies on this fine Thursday afternoon. Who’s excited for Project Runway tonight? Me! Ian had to go in episode one – simply not adjusting his style or vision to the challenge was clearly a mistake. Last week, though, I was sad to see Linda go. I really liked her. Okay, enough about that – time for gluten free cookies.

Let’s get baking.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup of melted butter
• 3 oz of cream cheese
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 1 cup of packed medium brown sugar
• 3 teaspoons of vanilla
• 2 egg yokes
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 2 cups + 1 tablespoon of gluten free flour
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 cup of chopped pecans

First up, gather all of your ingredients and then set the oven 365 degrees. You’ll notice below that I have bakers chocolate, since the plan was to dip these pecan cookies in chocolate. The chocolate never materialized since when I ate one of the cookies plain they just didn’t need anymore sweetness. Try if you wish (I might next time!).

Get out the mixer and cream the melted butter, cream cheese and sugars.

Add the egg yokes and the vanilla. Blend and mix well until it’s combined. Then, add in the flour, soda and the salt. Mix. The last step is to stir in the chopped pecans.

Time to roll. Roll these gluten free pecan cookies into little balls. Place them all on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes.

Bake in the oven and set the timer for 9-11 minutes.

Let them cool otherwise they’ll fall apart.

Done! Time to eat up.

Thanks so much for stopping by – bake up and enjoy a cookie.
