Sweet Treats

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend celebrating Valentine's Day with the ones you love. Our weekend was super nice & I made some sweet treats for my husband. The way to his heart is sweets, so what better then to make some delicious white chocolate dipped pretzels & sugar cookies. He really loved both (& so did I), so I thought I would share the recipes with you. 

Chocolate Dipped Pretzels
Things You'll Need:
1 bag of Glutino- Gluten Free Pretzel Chips 
1 bag of Wilton Candy Melts (white/vanilla flavor)
Any kind of Pink Sprinkles

Line a baking sheet with wax paper. 
Melt chocolate (based on instructions on bag)
Dip pretzels quickly in the chocolate & place on baking sheet 
Add sprinkles 
Let sit until chocolate hardens & serve to your loves

Gluten Free/ Dairy Free Sugar Cookies 
Things You'll Need:
2 cups of gluten free flour (preferably a blend with xanthan)
3/4 tsp of Baking Soda
1/4 tsp of Salt 
1/2 cup of Granulated Sugar
4 tbsp of Powdered Sugar 
8 tbsp of Unsalted Butter
1 Large Egg 
1/2 tsp of Pure Vanilla Extract 
4 oz. of sweetened applesauce 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Spray a little oil on a non-stick cookie sheet- set aside 
Put all dry ingredients in a bowl & mix well after add in egg, vanilla, & applesauce. 
Mix all ingredients with a mixer until all blended & thickened. 
Create little balls out of the dough, place on cookie sheet & flatten out dough. 
Pop in oven for 12 minutes
Let cool for about 15 minutes
Put some pink icing on them & keep for yourself serve to family & friends

My husband definitely loved all the sweets that I made him. The pretzels disappeared very quickly :) And I will be honest with you, I have tried several different recipes out for gluten free cookies & these were the BEST ones that I have ever had! They didn't even taste like they were gluten free. They were very moist and scrumptious! 

You should definitely try these out & let me know what you think !!
