Gluten Free Moravian Molasses Cookies

Armed with another gluten free year of experience under my belt, I made my family's Moravian Molasses Cookies again for the holidays. A small amount of quick internet research tells me that these cookies originated in what is now the Czech Republic after the spice trade began to take off in the area. These cookies were meant to highlight those new flavorful spices that were coming through the region. This re-vamped version eliminates the gums I used in my first attempt and changes amount of flour to 140 grams of gluten free all purpose flour mix per cup in the original recipe.

Accordion Treats

Apologies for the shadows in this pictures.  My house is not condusive to photographing food on weekdays. (Otherwise known as days when all cooking is done at night time because I have a day job.)

Accordion Treats are another family recipe that I remember having during the holidays for about as long as I can remember.  These gluten free versions are maybe a bit more fluffy than crispy and have to be very gently removed from the foil. Someday I would like to try making these dairy free by substituting coconut oil. But I'll save that for another day and let you enjoy the butter goodness of these!
