Gluten Free Italian Fig Cookies – Cuccidati – Occidate – Buccellati

Gluten Free Italian Fig Cookie Wreath

Served during Christmas and on St. Joseph’s Day, these Italian fig cookies (Sicilian treasures) were made by my grandmother, aunt, and now two generations of cousins. Make them for any special occasion or holiday. They were not made gluten free, but they are now! Make them soft like Fig Newtons or crunchy like biscotti. People that are not on a gluten free diet usually enjoy them more than their traditional counterpart. Continue reading “Gluten Free Italian Fig Cookies – Cuccidati – Occidate – Buccellati”

Red Velvet Popcorn – Caramel Corn (or Chocolate or Traditional)

Red Velvet Popcorn

I was recently sent a catalog from Popcornopolis. They’re offering a seasonal caramel corn that is red velvet inspired. A 2-gallon container goes for $49.99. I thought it would be a nice idea to develop a similar recipe, not knowing what ingredients they use. OMG! Now I know why it goes for that price! Plain, it’s such a delicious snack! However, when topped with the creamy topping that I created, this red velvet popcorn is just incredible! I predict that their product and this recipe will be the talk of the holiday season and continue to be popular thereafter. The combination is truly incredible.

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Gluten Free Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies

I was going to make some gluten free nutter butter cookies when my husband suggested adding chocolate chips. Instead, I created a new cookie recipe specifically for gluten free peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. You’ll enjoy these cookies as they have a slight crunch on the bottom yet they’re soft.

I’ve loaded them with chocolate chips, but feel free to reduce the amount as desired. I will include these cookies when I make my Christmas cookie gift tins, even for the gluten eaters! This recipe makes a large batch, but you can cut in half easily enough. Continue reading “Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies”
