Recipe Introduction

Note from Tracey: My amaranth sugar cookie recipe is very sturdy and can be made chocolate. If all you need is circles, chill it in a log and slice instead of rolling it out.

List of Ingredients

Cream:
1/2 c sugar (or Xylitol)
1/2 c Spectrum palm shortening
1 T flax + 3 T water, heated then cooled (this is equal to 1 egg)
2 tsp vanilla
2 T fruit juice (apple, pear)

Sift in:
3/4 c amaranth flour
1/4 c Montina flour
3/4 c arrowroot powder
2 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp baking powder


Recipe

Add wet and dry ingredients and mix until dough looks like sugar cookie dough. Add more juice if needed.

Roll into log and chill 1/2 hour. Slice and bake at 400* for about 6 minutes.

Can also be rolled and cut with shapes. Chocolate was also really good- I added 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 2 drops of stevia and a bit more juice.
