These were a new Christmas cookie that I made this year. They were super good! I modified the original recipe from using pecans to using M & M’s.

5 tbs butter, softened
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, room temperature
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup M & M’s
1/2 cup (6 ounces) chocolate chips

1/4 – 1/2 cup confectioner sugar

Preheat oven to 350.

In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar and salt until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour. Stir in M & M’s and chocolate chips.

Form dough into tablespoon sized balls and roll into confectioner sugar.

Drop onto a greased or parchment paper covered baking sheet.

Bake 15 – 20 minutes.

Let cool for a few minutes and re-roll each cookie in confectioner sugar.

This is my grandmother’s recipe for blonde brownies that I cut in half and adapted to be lower in sugar and gluten free. For a full batch, just double all of the ingredients and use a 9 x 13 pan.

4 tbs butter or ghee
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup gluten free all purpose flour
1/4 cup buckwheat flour or gluten free all purpose flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks

Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a glass 9″ baking dish with non-stick spray, such as avocado or olive oil or line with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter. Mix in the applesauce, coconut sugar, egg and vanilla.
Add the gluten free all purpose flour, buckwheat flour, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
Stir in the chocolate chips.

Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 20 – 25 minutes.
