3. ICED CHERRY RING COOKIES
½ cup unsalted butter, plus more
for greasing the pans
½ cup sugar
1 egg yolk
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
*1½ cups gluten-free flour
¼ cup Tillen Farms natural
cherries (any variety), dried well
and chopped
½ cup confectioner’s sugar
1½ tablespoons freshly squeezed
lemon juice (more or less)
2-3 drops natural cherry juice
*Be sure to use flour that includes
either xanthan or guar gum, if not
add 1 teaspoon of either gum
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 2 baking
sheets. Cream together butter and sugar until
pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg
yolk, lemon zest and vanilla, mix well. Stir in the
flour, add cherries and mix with your hands until it
forms soft dough.
Lightly flour a surface, roll out the dough to a
¼-inch thickness and cut into 3-inch rounds with a
cookie cutter. Cut out the center of each cookie
with a 1-inch cookie cutter. Place the rings on
prepared baking sheets. Re-roll any trimmings
and cut more cookies. Bake cookies in preheated
oven for 15 minutes or until firm and just beginning
to color. Let cool on baking sheets 5 minutes then
transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Mix confectioner’s sugar with lemon juice and
cherry juice until it becomes a smooth paste. It
may take a little less or more lemon juice so start
with less and add a little at a time. Drizzle over the
cooled cookies and let sit until icing sets, about
30 minutes.
