About Last Night

 We had our support group GIG last night at St.Marks Hospital. It was fun to try out so many different kinds of cookies. Thank you all for your support!! The cookies that I made came out good also a new recipe from Tom Sawyer gluten free flour. It was so easy so I am going to post it for you to try. Remember that if there is some thing that you can not have change what you need to make it to work for you.

Chocolate Topped Cherry Cookies

2 1/4 cups Tom's flour blend
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. almond extract
1/2 cup chopped, maraschino cherries
1/4 cup pecans, chopped

Preheat oven 350 F

In a large bowl combine all ingredients, except cherries and pecans. Blend well at low speed. Stir in cherries and pecans; mix throughly. using a teaspoonful, shape into balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Cookies will spread slightly. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Cool. Top with chocolate frosting.

Chocolate Frosting

2 Tbsp. cocoa
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. melted butter
1/4 cup maraschino cherry juice
3 cups powdered sugar

 Mix first 4 ingredients till cocoa is dissolved. Mix in cherry juice. Gradually add powdered sugar alternately with enough HOT water until it is of spreading consistency. Frost cookies.
I also put some sprinkles on top. They were cute. This is very easy I hope you will try it. Have a good night.
