As I mentioned last time, this year everyone is getting a gift basket of scrumptious gluten-free confections. In fact, I started my deliveries to clients and friends and the response was heart warming. So here we go. I have loaded up both a sweet and savory recipe on my new recipe page. The featured "Butter Balls" were so easy to make and a real hit with everyone. Sometimes called Mexican Wedding Cookies or Nut Balls they seem to appear in every culture. With Bella Gluten-Free All Purpose Mix they are truly a 15 minute affair. And although they are called Butter Balls in my book, they work just as well with a butter substitute of choice. |

Directions: Cream butter and sugar together with a stand mixer or by hand until soft and well blended. Add vanilla and nuts. Combine. Add Bella Gluten-Free All Purpose Baking Mix and mix just until incorporated. Using about 1 TBL of dough roll into small balls or a crescent moon shapes. Cookies will expand a little in the oven. Bake at 300 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until cookies are a light golden brown on the bottom. These cookies do better baking at a lower temperature for a longer time. Let rest for 5 minutes on cookie tray. Roll in a bowl of confectioner's sugar, coating completely. |
