It’s Christmas season and that means Swedish family traditions at my home! I just can’t wait for you to try the scrumptious gluten-free Swedish Rosenmunnar cookie!! My mouth is watering and you can always tell how much I like a recipe by how many exclamation points I use while writing! This recipe is a great one to make with children, it will be messy and the cookies probably won’t look picture-perfect but you will be making memories and that is worth much more than pristine cookies.
Basically, it comes down to taste for me. Why eat anything that doesn’t taste great or even amazing? This recipe for Swedish Rosenmunnar really delivers in the taste department. Why? Butter makes everything better and I can not imagine why anyone would use margarine. There is simply no comparison. If you have a dairy allergy use ghee, known as clarified butter. The milk solids are removed and you still get the amazing taste.
Gluten-Free Swedish Rosenmunnar
Makes 2 dozen
Ingredients
1 cup butter or ghee at room temperature
1/2 cup organic cane sugar or maple sugar
2 cups gluten-free flour mix
1 tsp. xantham gum
1/2 cup jelly or jam
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Cream the butter and sugar.
- Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT for the jam. Mix well on low.
- Shape dough into 1″ balls. ( I use a cookie scoop.)
- Take your pointer finger and make an indentation into the dough balls.
- Fill the indentation with your favorite preserves. My favorite is a seedless raspberry jam.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown at the edges.
- Optional…sprinkle with powdered sugar when the cookies cool.
ENJOY!
