Pure Sweets: Gluten Free Treats in Philly

Somehow, I stumbled upon Pure Sweets, a local bakery putting out delicious and interesting gluten-free goodies.  Lucky me!  Read my Examiner page to learn about the cool treats from Pure Sweets that are vegan, GF, kosher and organic.

Martha loves us, too!

Martha Stewart's Cookie of the Day today is...you guessed it...gluten free!

It's a flourless double-chocolate pecan cookie. 

Martha says it's chewy and "great for people with celiac disease or a wheat allergy."

Mmmm...I wish I had one right now.  If only my office had an oven. (sigh)

Thanks, Martha, for thinking of us!

Quick & Easy GF Peanut Butter Cookies

Easy GF Peanut Butter Cookies

1 c. peanut butter
½ c. white sugar
½ c. brown sugar
1 egg
1 t. baking soda

Optional: Semi sweet or milk chocolate

Directions: In a bowl, mix together peanut butter, sugars, egg and baking soda. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better.)
Roll into small balls (3/4”) and bake in preheated, 325 degree oven for 6 – 8 minutes on an ungreased baking sheet.

Optional: As soon as they come out of the oven, sprinkle a few semi sweet chocolate chips or place a small piece of a milk chocolate bar on each. After a few minutes, spread the melted chocolate over the top of the cookie.

Remove the set cookies to a rack and cool completely for a crispy cookie.

Warning: These are VERY rich! Have a glass of milk on hand!

Makes about 3 dozen.

Note: If you don’t want to bake them all at once, the dough keeps nicely for about a week in the fridge, if covered or wrapped tightly.
