Ingredients

  • 1 cup sweet white sorghum flour
  • 1/2 cup white rice flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour
  • 1/2 cup potato starch flour
  • 1/4 cup garbanzo and fava flour
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/2 teaspoon guar gum
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup melted ghee or sunflower or canola oil
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free powdered sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 325°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray (without flour).
  • 2
    In small bowl, mix flours, xanthan gum, guar gum, baking soda and salt with whisk; set aside. In medium bowl, beat ghee, 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar, the eggs, vanilla and lemon peel with electric mixer on medium speed. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until blended. Stir in pecans.
  • 3
    Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls; place on cookie sheet. Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until set. Cool 5 minutes.

    Meanwhile, place remaining 1 cup powdered sugar in large resealable food-storage plastic bag. Drop 1 cookie at a time into bag and gently coat with sugar. Remove from bag and place on cooling rack.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    As an option, double-coat these cookies with powdered sugar, once when hot and again when cool, giving the outside a lovely finish.
  • tip 2
    Letting the cookies sit on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack keeps them from breaking. Slightly cooled cookies hold their shape.
