Hello Friends,
I love Christmas so much – celebrating the birth of baby Jesus with family and friends. But as we go into this season which is the most wonderful time of the year, I know our hearts are heavy with the sadness and pain of what many are going through in other areas. I pray for our World and for peace daily, and I have a prayer at the bottom of this letter, which I hope you will join me in.
On a much lighter note, I have attached below one of my favorite gluten free Sugar Cookie recipes for those looking for a good one. This is from the cookbook Against The Grains. Also you should check out No Guilt Goodies.com for some amazing off the charts healthy desserts you can have made for you!

And here is the recipe!!
Grain-Free Sugar Cookies
Danielle Walker – AgainstAllGrain.com
SERVES: 1 dozen medium sized cookies
INGREDIENTS:
- 2½ cups blanched almond flour
- ¼ cup honey or coconut nectar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter or coconut oil
- ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon coconut flour – for dusting
Frosting
- 6 tablespoons coconut butter (also called coconut cream concentrate)
- ¼ cup raw cacao butter, chopped
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup cold coconut milk
optional: food coloring (this brand is all natural or use 1 tablespoon finely ground freeze dried strawberries or raspberries – you may need to add extra liquid to achieve desired consistency if using the dried fruit)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine the dough ingredients in a food processor and process until a smooth ball of dough forms, about 30 seconds. Alternatively, mix all of the ingredients in a stand mixer or by hand. The food processed dough will be ultra smooth and the most like a conventional sugar cookie.
- Flatten the ball of dough into a ½” thick disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for 20 minutes.
- Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper, keeping it to a ¼” thickness. Remove the top sheet and sprinkle the top of the dough with 1 teaspoon coconut flour, rubbing it in slightly with your fingers. Dip a cookie cutter in a little flour then cut your shapes, peeling away excess dough as you work. Gather the excess dough into a ball and re-roll it. If it starts to dry out or crack as you work with it the second or third time, lightly wet your hands before kneading the scraps to add a little moisture back into the dough.
- Bake the cookies on a tray lined with parchment paper for 8-10 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Frosting
- Warm the cacao butter and coconut butter over low heat until melted, but not boiling. Pour it into a bowl and whisk in the cold coconut milk and honey. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
- Scrape the frosting into a blender or food processor and pulse a few times until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. Add any food coloring if desired or leave white.
- Pipe designs or spread frosting onto cooled cookies.
*For the glossy look that I achieved with the dark pink heart, I first piped a thin border around the outside of the cookie and placed it in the fridge to harden for 10 minutes. Then I melted a little bit of the frosting until it was liquid and poured a little inside the border. I tilted the cookie around until the frosting “flooded” the space and stopped at the border. The others are just spread with an offset spatula then piped with designs.
In closing I pray:
Compassionate God and Father of all,
we are horrified at violence
in so many parts of the world.
It seems that none are safe, and some are terrified.
Hold back the hands that kill and maim;
turn around the hearts that hate.
Grant instead your strong Spirit of Peace –
peace that passes our understanding
but changes lives,
Make your ways known upon earth, Lord God,
your saving power among all peoples.
Guide the leaders of all nations,
that justice may prevail throughout the world.
Make us instruments of your peace
and let your glory be over all the earth,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
I pray that you find love, peace, joy and happiness with Christ’s love this season. Have a very Merry and blessed Christmas my friends!
In Him,
~Robbie
