Calories: 64kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 cup granulated cane sugar
- 1/2 cup butter or vegan butter I use Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks**
- 2 large eggs or egg substitute
- 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups 270 grams gfJules™ All-Purpose Gluten Free Flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring the raisins and water to a boil for one minute, then set aside to cool. When cooled slightly, stir in baking soda.
- Preheat oven to 350° F (static) or 325° F (convection).
- Using an electric mixer, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat well.
- In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg, then stir into the butter/sugar mixture, beating until thoroughly integrated. Drain the raisins and fold into the dough.
- Drop by tablespoonful onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving 1-2 inches between cookies. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. If baking on convection, bake only 8 minutes. Refrigerate any unused dough to bake later.
Notes
**if using salted butter, there's no need to add salt to these cookies; if using unsalted butter, add 1/2 tsp. salt.
