Favorite Things Ultimate Christmas Giveaway

By Kelly · 18 Comments

holiday-giveaway

This giveaway has ended. But you can still check out my top-rated cookbook, Everyday Grain-Free Baking, and try out several of the recipes listed in the “dessert” section of the blog. Merry Christmas!

In celebration of the Christmas season, my friends Polly and Rachel at Thriving Home asked if I would continue the tradition of participating in their Annual Christmas Giveaway Blog Hop. My response … Yippee!

Since y’all loved the past two Christmas giveaways, I immediately jumped (or should I say, hopped) at the opportunity to partner together on another terrific giveaway with some of my favorite bloggin’ friends.

And because the holidays are the busiest ~ baking ~ season of the year, I thought it would be the perfect time to put together an awesome gluten-free, grain-free Holiday Baking Giveaway! So, I called my friends at Simple Mills and asked if they’d join me in putting together a delicious prize package to make one lucky winner’s holiday season even more merry and bright (not to mention tastier too!).

Book Cover EverydayGrainFreeBaking copyOf course, it’s no secret that I’m super passionate about gluten-free, grain-free baking. After all, I spent over a year developing, photographing and publishing Everyday Grain-Free Baking – named one of the “Top Must Have GF Baking Cookbooks” by Clean Eating Magazine and Simply Gluten-Free Magazine.

But as much as I love to bake from scratch, there are times when I just want to whip-up something quickly! Thankfully, there is one company I trust who is committed to providing gluten-free, grain-free baking mixes made with pure, real food ingredients – Simple Mills!

Founder Kaitlyn Smith, started Simple Mills because of her passion for simple, healthy and delicious grain-free baking. When Simple Mills first started out, I developed a few recipes using Kaitlyn’s muffin mixes. And as Simple Mills has continued to grow and add even more delicious baking mixes to their wholesome product line, I’ve become an even bigger fan and loyal customer!

Cranberry Orange Cookies

By Kelly · 4 Comments

Wanna bake some cookies together?

There's nothing better than doing some holiday baking with family. And these grain free cranberry orange cookies are the perfect thing to make with everyone from old to young!

Ever wonder why baking cookies is such a treasured past time? There’s just something indescribable about this simple tradition that warms hearts and tantalizes tastebuds. I’m certain this is why there are so many varieties of holiday cookies from classic favorites like sugar cookie cut-outs and gingersnaps to fancy little jam-filled thumbprint cookies.

Personally, I think cranberries and oranges are a timeless combination. The slight pucker-up-tanginess of chewy dried cranberries pairs perfectly with the sweet citrusy flavor of fresh orange zest to create a scrumptious cookie that’s certain to become a newfound favorite!

Cranberry Orange Cookies

Yield: 1 1/2 dozen cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1 tsp coconut flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened, (or palm shortening)
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 Tbsp orange zest
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the butter (or palm shortening), coconut oil, honey, orange zest and cinnamon. Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, blend together until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix well to combine. Then add the shredded coconut, continuing to mix until well combined.
  5. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the dried cranberries. Then drop the dough by rounded spoonfuls at least two inches apart onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your fingers to slightly flatten the cookies.
  6. Bake for 8-9 minutes, until golden brown along edges. Allow the cookies to completely cool on the cookie sheet, as they will be very soft and crumbly when hot. Once cooled, they transform into the ultimate deliciously chewy holiday treat!
