Chewy and crispy cookies are my jam this month! There is something about sinking your teeth into a chewy cookie that has the warmth of cinnamon in it and soft raisins, plus the crispiness of brown rice cereal that is just magic.

This new cookie recipe is a low allergen recipe. What is low allergen? I mean it is free of the top allergens. It is gluten free, dairy free, egg free, nut free, corn free, and soy free. Sweetened with honey, it is also refined sugar free. I am very pleased with the structure of these cookies too. The crumb is very nice.

The inside is perfect, and the bottoms are a perfect golden brown!

Gluten Free Crispy Cinnamon Raisin Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350° F. Lay out a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or two small cookie sheets.

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup of White Rice Flour (I used this)

1/4 Cup of Organic Shortening

1/4 Cup of Good Honey

1/3 Cup of Crispy Brown Rice Cereal (I used this kind)

1 Tablespoon of Coconut Flour

1/3 Cup of Raisins

2 Tablespoons of Coconut Butter, (warm until soft in the microwave, be gentle)

1 Tablespoon of Gelatin (I used Vital Proteins)

1/2 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

1/2 Teaspoon of Cinnamon

1/2 Teaspoon of Baking Soda

1/4 Teaspoon of Sea Salt

1/8 Teaspoon of Nutmeg

Directions:

In a medium mixing bowl, cream together with an electric hand mixer the shortening, Honey, Vanilla Extract, and warmed Coconut Butter until light and creamy.

Sift together the White Rice Flour, Coconut Flour, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Baking Soda, Salt and Gelatin.

Add the dry ingredients to your shortening and honey mixture and beat until incorporated. Mix in the Crispy Brown Rice Cereal and Raisins.

With a tablespoon scoop,  scoop the cookie dough into balls. Roll them into rounds between your hands, and place them on your prepared cookie sheet. Flatten the cookies with the bottom of a glass, Make sure the cookies have 2 inches between them on the sheet. Bake in your preheated oven for 9 – 10 minutes until they are golden brown.

Makes 1 dozen cookies.
