Gluten Free Severed Finger Cookies – Witches Fingers

Gory Gluten Free Finger Cookies

Don’t waste your time making dry gluten free Halloween cookies that only look good. Instead, make this delicious gluten free severed finger cookies recipe. They are between sugar and shortbread cookies. So yummy, yet gory! Every adult I shared these cookies with loved the way they looked and tasted! One gluten-eating person who hadn’t even tasted them (but is familiar with my recipes) offered to pay me to bake and ship some for her. I can’t charge my sister, right?

Gluten Free Matcha Banana Cake

Gluten Free Matcha Banana Layer Cake

A lightly sweetened, fluffy, and spongy banana cake, with a texture between banana bread and cake. Need a caffeine boost that is healthier than coffee? Matcha may be your answer. Matcha is a powdered green tea from Asia that is full of anti-oxidants, makes a wonderful detoxifier, boosts memory, and keeps you calm, yet alert. See more benefits here. Meanwhile, you’ll love this cake! Fill it with cream cheese frosting or whipped cream. You can even serve it with whipped coconut cream from the chilled cans of coconut milk (with or without added sweetener), or serve it plain.

Chocolate Covered Gluten Free Graham Crackers

Chocolate and Nut-Covered Gluten Free Graham Crackers

When I have my family over, they usually request that I make Chocolate Almond Brittle and Gluten Free Graham Crackers. They’re all gluten-eaters! As we all get older, brittle gets stick in our teeth, though it never stops me! So, as a substitute, I created a similar recipe to the chocolate brittle using graham crackers. You can use any nuts you desire. I’ve chosen walnuts today, as they’re my favorite. You can omit the nuts altogether and substitute them with a sprinkle of vanilla bean flake sea salt. It gives it that chocolate-covered pretzel vibe. Enjoy! Continue reading “Chocolate Covered Gluten Free Graham Crackers”

Gluten Free Polvorones (Shortbread Walnut Cookies) aka Mexican Wedding Cookies

Gluten Free Polvorones - Walnut Shortbread Cookies

The word polvo, in Spanish, means powder or dust. These gluten free polvorones, aka Mexican wedding cookies, Spanish polvorones, or walnut shortbread cookies, are not dust. However, powder or dust is a resemblance of what its crumbly texture leaves behind. The delicate texture is created by its lack of egg. Real shortbread made by master chefs are just as delicate. Learn how to make exquisite gluten free polvorones. Continue reading “Gluten Free Polvorones (Shortbread Walnut Cookies) aka Mexican Wedding Cookies”
