3 flourless cookie recipes

[artteacher]

Hi guys,

I know it sounds like I eat really healthy because I report eating meat, vegetables, and fruit. The truth is that I cram as much sugar as I can get as long as it's gluten, dairy, lectin, sulfite, & grain free.

The first two are awesomely good, the third I haven't tried yet.

Forgotten Cookies

2 egg whites
3/4 t. cream of tartar
1/4 t. salt
3/4 c. sugar
a handful (or 6 oz.) Of Enjoy Life- GF/DF/SF, mini chocolate chips

Beat egg whies, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoons on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. (small drops are best, to make bite size cookies) Place in a 350 degree oven and turn off heat. Leave meringues in oven overnight or 12 hours.


Flourless Dark Chocolate Cookies
from 2003 issue of "O" the Oprah magazine

3/4 c. cocoa powder
2 1/2 c. confectioner's sugar
salt
2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
1 T. vanilla
4 egg whites

Mix dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir thoroughly for about a minute. In another bowl, combine the vanilla and egg whites. With the mixer running, slowly add the whites to the dry ingredients and mix for 2 minutes on medium speed.

With a 2 oz. ice cream scoop, or melon baller, or a spoon, scoop cookie batter onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Make sure to space the cookies about 2 inches apart - they will spread.

Put cookies into a 350 degree oven, then lower the temp. to 320 and bake for 14 minutes or until small thin cracks appear on the surface of the cookies. Cool on a wire rack and store in a cookie jar.


Mashed Potato Fudge (makes 64 1 inch pieces)

1/2 c. unseasoned, well mashed cookied potato (about one potato)
3. c. powdered sugar
1. c. flaked or shredded coconut
1 t. vanilla
2 squares of Baker's baking chocolate

While the potato is hot, beat in the sugar and coconut, then the vanilla. Press into a lightly greased 8 inch square pan. Melt chocolate and pour over top. Chill and cut into squares. Keeps indefinitely in airtight container in fridge.

*I'll probably skip or reduce the coconut because of the sulfite content.

Thanks for those recipes. I am going to try them out at the weekend. I am making GF biscuits as snacks for our daughter's venture up at Woodford. Do you have a recipe for freezable biscuits. I thought that seeing I need to make so many that it would help if some could be frozen.

Love
