My kids (thankfully) are not very picky eaters. They eat every meal I make for them, even the adventurous ones. My daughter actually loves mushrooms and onions too. That a girl! There are a few vegetables my kids don’t care for, but they LOVE all fruit. Their favorite right now…Cuties clementines. It’s like candy. They can’t eat just one and I totally don’t mind because they are such a healthy snack for my growing little ones!
Most of us have enjoyed these juicy Cuties clementines. We adore their easy-peel and those cute stickers. When I bring a box home, they only last a couple days. It’s a good thing they are in just about every grocery store this time of year. With a name like Cuties, who wouldn’t love such a cheerful fruit? Here’s a couple facts about those mandarins that we can’t get enough of…
- 100% natural and GMO-free
- Low in calories and sugar
- Packed full of vitamin C and potassium
- Seedless and easy to peel
Cuties delivered a box of their oh so sweet California clementines to my front door (my kids got a kick out of that). I already had a cookie recipe in mind that I wanted to share with you before Christmas, featuring Cuties of course! I took a gluten free vegan clementine sugar cookie and dipped them in dark chocolate. Yes, I know. Rich chocolate and zesty orange go so well together. This my friends, is another irresistible gluten free cookie recipe! Enjoy and thank you Cuties!
- 2 1/3 cups Sarah's gluten free flour blend
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups organic powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons Cuties clementine juice
- 1 teaspoon Cuties clementine zest
- 1 teaspoon pure orange extract
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup dairy free chocolate
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In medium bowl, sift together flour blend, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In large mixing bowl, mix together powdered sugar, melted coconut oil, coconut milk, clementine juice, clementine zest, orange extract, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Add flour mixture. Stir until combined. Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes, just to chill.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll tablespoon-scoops of cookie dough into balls. Flatten cookies with bottom of glass jar or fingers (cookies won't really spread).
- Bake cookies for 8-9 minutes. Be sure to not over-bake, as the cookies won't brown much. Remove cookies from oven and place on cooling rack to cool completely.
- While cookies are cooling, melt chocolate. Place chocolate chips in microwave-safe bowl and melt on low in 30 second intervals, stirring in between. Stir chocolate until completely melted.
- Dip half of cooled cookie into chocolate. Lay on parchment paper to harden or place in refrigerator for 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining cookies.
