Post date: May 12, 2011 8:11:50 PM

Ingredients:

3 cups gluten-free baking mix (for these, I like Pamela’s brand)

2 cups sugar

1 cup melted butter

2 tablespoons orange zest

1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (check for gluten-free)

1 ½ cups dried cranberries

1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 egg

Pinch of salt

Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine sugar, butter, orange zest, vanilla and egg.

Slowly add sugar and butter mixture to a larger bowl with baking mix, cinnamon and salt. Gently stir until well-combined. Fold in cranberries and coconut flakes. Cover and refrigerate dough for 1 hour.

Preheat over to 350° F and grease or line 2 baking sheets. Roll firmed dough into about 30 1-2-inch balls and align on sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool before serving.
