Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies with Citrus

1/31/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
1 cups gluten free flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup coconut oil
1 cup organic sugar
1 cup peanut butter
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 drops Citrus essential oil (grapefruit, lemon, lime, …)
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
6 cups miniature pretzels, chopped

Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.

Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, sugar and peanut butter on medium speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition and the vanilla.

With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture, beating until just combined.

Stir in peanuts. Let batter sit for 30 minutes.

Place the pretzels in a bowl. Scoop dough by rounded Tbs.full and drop a few balls of dough in the bowl and toss to coat.

Place the cookies on the prepared pans.

Bake, rotating the pans after 10 minutes, until golden but still soft to the touch, about 15 minutes.

Let cool slightly before transferring to racks to cool.

I mixed the pretzels in with the batter right at the end. It gave the cookies a chewy bite.

Then reduce heat to medium, cover with lid and allow to cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken has cooked through 10 - 15 minutes (cook time will vary based on thickness of chicken breasts).

Orange Almond Cake

I tried this without the essential oil and it really wasn't as good. The oil really brings this dessert together.

2 oranges, washed well
1 1/2 cups ground almonds
1 cup superfine sugar or 1 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon Cointreau liqueur
2 drops Wild Orange Essential Oil
6 eggs, lightly beaten

Place the whole oranges in a large saucepan. Add enough water to cover them and place a small plate on top of the oranges to keep them submerged in the water. Gradually bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat and allow them to simmer for 40 minutes, or until the oranges are very soft. Cut each of the oranges into quarters. Set aside to cool. Remove any pips, and then place the oranges in the bowl of a food processor and blend until they form a very smooth pulp.

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Cut a piece piece of parchment paper to fit in the bottom of an 8 inch round cake pan. Lightly grease the cake pan and then place the parchment paper circle in the base. 

Add the ground almonds, sugar, baking powder, vanilla, Cointreau, and Wild Orange oil to the food processor with the orange puree. Process (pulse) until all of the ingredients are combined. Add the egg and process again until just combined. Do not over process. Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake for 50 minutes, or until the cake is firm and leaves the side of the pan. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
