Gluten-free almond cookies

January 17, 2012 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

I made these cookies for Christmas this year.  The attraction was two-fold.  firstly, I love almonds.  Secondly, there isn’t a ton of sugar in these little gems so they aren’t really sweet.  A full cup of butter makes up for the lack of sugar 🙂

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

1/4 cup icing sugar

1/4 tsp almond extract

pinch of salt

1 cup ground almonds/almond flour

1  3/4 cup gluten-free flour (I used 1 cup arrowroot startch, 3/4 cup sorghum)

1 tsp xanthum gum

Beat butter with sugar, almond extract and salt.

Stir in the almond flour and gluten-free flour and xanthum gum until well combined.

Cover and refrigerate for an hour.  (Don’t make it the day before. The butter hardens and makes it impossible to work with.  Just one hour!).

Take a tablespoon of dough at a time.  You can make them into crescents by rolling it into a log and shaping it into a moon.  Or you can just shape into a disc.  It won’t spread out much so make it the shape that you want before baking.

Bakein a 325 oven until the bottoms and edges are browned, about 20 minutes. Check at 18 minutes and every two minutes thereafter.  You can sprinkle with icing sugar or raw sugar while they are hot.  Then cool and transfer to cooling rack.

These are delicate

I love you well baby checks with babies & parents. I love you well baby checks with babies & parents. This is a great opportunity to sit down with a healthcare provider and get all your questions answered from a natural perspective. We do physical exams and can look in babies ears, listen to their heart, measure them, and track their progress together. 

If your baby has extended health benefits then now is a great time to use them before the year is up.

Fertility Acupuncture at Rooted

This treatment has been offered at Rooted for over a decade. 

Acupuncture helps regulate menstrual cycles, decrease pain, increase blood flow to the uterus to help with lining, and also helps decrease your stress. 

It’s something you can do when you feel like you can do nothing at all. When you have no control over when you’ll get pregnant. At least you know you can do this for your body to help increase your chances.

However, I started my journey with baby food with a little bit of fear when my firstborn developed severe allergies to peanuts and tree nuts. Now it's my passion to share with moms how to introduce foods safely and properly to avoid food allergies and sensitivities.

This year I bought golf clubs for my birthday and This year I bought golf clubs for my birthday and decided this was the year I was taking up golf officially. 

It was time to build this skill so I could spend more time with my mom and stepdad. The byproduct is creating new memories with other friends who also like the game and making new friends. 

This Friday we golfed in the 5th annual Mike Gilbertson Memorial tournament. I’ve sponsored a hole for a few years for @carlaynegilbertson and @seasonscentreforgrieving but this is the first year I golfed. It was so much fun for a great cause. I’m excited to see how much the event raised for these special kids.
