Allergy-friendly Snickerdoole Cookies

Hi,


We wanted to bake some cookies for a friend of ours who has similar allergies, except she's also allergic to tree nuts, chocolate and coconut.  Snickerdooles made without wheat, dairy, soy, eggs, sugar, (and of course no chocolate, tree nuts or coconut), are what we came up with.  When we gave them to my friend, she said that under normal circumstances she doesn't even like Snickerdoodles -- but she really likes these!!  I hope you do, too :)


Snickerdoodles


Cream until light


1 cup lard
2/3 cup fructose
1/3 cup Stevia in the Raw, measurable


Add and mix until incorporated


2 tablespoons ground flax + 6 tablespoons warm water
2 teaspoons vanilla


Combine in a large bowl, then add gradually to the fat/sweeteners


3 cups flour mix
1 packet gelatin (Knox)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt


Scoop by 1/4 cupfuls or ice cream scoop of the same size and roll in a mixture of


3 tablespoons Stevia in the Raw, measurable
2 teaspoons cinnamon


Place the cookies about 2" apart on parchment lined sheets at 375F for about 11 minutes.  Allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for at least 5 minutes to set the dough.  Store, (if you have any leftover!), tightly covered with paper towels between the layers.  Makes about 13 cookies.
