Christmas Wreath Cookies

I found these Christmas wreath cookies on Pinterest from Sugar Pot awhile back and thought immediately that I needed to come up with my own recipe to make them gluten-free. Thanks goodness for great gluten-free blends like Pamela’s Products all-purpose flour. It made it easy to come up with a great recipe that met my gluten-free needs. This flour can easily be used in lots of recipes. I have especially found success with it in making cookies.

I have to say that the baking and pancake mix is my absolute favorite product from Pamela’s Products. The taste of these pancakes is still my family’s favorite even after trying nearly every other brand on the market. Remember how cute these groundhog day pancakes were that I made this spring? Get the full recipe HERE.

We also love their graham crackers. They are delicious to eat on their own or use in recipes. These strawberry cheesecake cookies are awesome as are these s’mores cupcakes. Pamela’s Products has SO many great products in their line. Whether it be baking mixes or cookies, they have the best of everything gluten-free. They even have lots of dairy-free products making them great for folks with multiple food allergies.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350?. Combine flour, salt, butter, baking powder and sugars. Slowly add the vanilla and 2 T milk. Add eggs in one at a time and combine. In a food processor, chop 1/4 pistachios until finely ground then add to the dough. On a gluten-free floured surface, roll out the dough and cut into wreaths using a linzer cookie cutter. Pop out centers using a small center linzer cookie cutter. Bake at 350? for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown. Let cookies cool on a rack. While the cookies are cooling, make the glaze by combining 1 1/2 C powdered sugar with 3-4 T milk. Use more milk if needed to get a thinner glaze consistency. When cookies are cooled, dip the tops into glaze. Top with chopped pistachios and dried cranberries.

*These are my opinions and my opinions alone. I love Pamela’s Products and have been using them since first being diagnosed with celiac disease years ago. In fact, these were some of the first gluten-free products I ever used.
