Vegan Shortbread Cookies with Balsamic Reduction are gluten free shortbread cookies that are mixed with cranberries, pistachios and a drizzle of balsamic reduction! They’re a healthy, vegan and paleo cookie for Christmas!

Thick, syrupy balsamic reduction. Like made from VINEGAR. On a cookie. In front of you, on THE SCREEN.

You’re confused. I can sense your little eyeballs peering at me, wondering what on earth I have gotten myself up to now

Judging by your reaction to the green cranberry pistachio bread, I know you’re into the cranberry pistachio combo. But then you see the vinegar and you’re like what?

Well, peeps. One can only describe these buttery-but-OH-SNAP-no-butter soft and melty little bites of VEGAN ANDANDAND PALEO cookie goodness as the ULTIMATE of savory-sweet PERFECTION.

Not even one OUNCE of exaggeration guys. I did not think that my inner cookie-monster-esque heart would SING ballads after tasting VINEGAR on top of a COOKIE.

But, it happened. I won’t share the ballad with you. You know, just in case I release the album “Taylor’s Greatest Hit” one day. Gotta watch out for MYSELF YO’.

Commence delicious overload in 3…2…1..GOGOGOGOGO.

Actually wait. I’ll calm down for 2 seconds to preemptively calm YOU down. This is how it’s going to happen: Excited little you is going to RUN FAST into the kitchen to get your paleo cookie jam on. You’ll start beating up the agave and coconut oil like it AIN’T NO THANG. YOU GOT THIS.

BUT THEN. You’ll stir in the coconut flour, (or make these gluten free almond flour shortbread cookies if you prefer almond flour) feeling pretty proud of the delicious work you’re doing….only to have it turn from proud –> WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY LIFE, when the dough is SUPER soft and totally NOT ROLLABLE AT ALL.

Calm down Martha Stewart. This is NORMAL. Just scrape that dough onto some saran wrap, wrap it into a flat disc and chill it for 30 MINUTES.

I promise you, when you open that refrigerator door, your cookie dough will be just that: totally solid, easy-to-roll dough. SUCCESS IS IN YOUR FUTURE.

BUT ONLY if you get up RIGHT NOW and continue where we left off:

Ingredients

For the Balsamic Reduction:

• 1/3 cup Balsamic Vinegar Good quality
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Agave Syrup Honey for paleo version

For the Cookies:

• 1/2 cup Coconut Oil At room temperature, should be the consistency of softened butter
• 1/4 cup Agave Syrup Plus 3 tablespoons, honey for paleo version
• 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup Coconut Flour Sifted, 88 grams
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Pistachios Finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons Dried Cranberries Finely Chopped

Instructions

• In a small sauce pan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar and 1 1/2 tablespoon. of agave. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until it reduces by half and coats the back of the spoon, about 6-7 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool COMPLETELY. The reduction will thicken A LOT when cooled, so be careful not to boil it too long.
• In a large bowl, beat together the coconut oil, agave and vanilla extract using an electric hand mixer until smooth and well mixed. Add in the coconut flour, salt, pistachios and dried cranberries and stir until a very wet dough forms.
• Scrape the dough onto a large piece of saran wrap and form into a thin disc. Lightly wrap it and place it into the refrigerator for 30 minutes so that it can chill and harden. The dough will be VERY moist, but this is normal, as it sets up a lot once chilled.
• Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silpat.
• Once the dough is chilled, roll it into 1 1/2 tablespoon balls and place onto the prepared cookie sheet. Gently press the cookies down so they are about 1/3 inch thick. They don’t spread while baking, so make sure you flatten them.
• Bake until the edges are lightly golden brown, about 11-12 minutes. The cookies will feel very soft, but firm up once cooled. Cool COMPLETELY on the pan.
• Once cooled, drizzle with the balsamic reduction and DEVOUR.

Notes

As the cookies absorb the reduction, it becomes less thick and shiny looking. If you’re serving them to guests, I recommend drizzling the reduction on just before serving. You can make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator and heat for just a few seconds to make it easier to drizzle.
Store cookies in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. They will become crunchy, as the coconut oil will harden once chilled. Just let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving, if you like a softer cookie.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are organic beauty items?

Organic Beauty Products are natural products without synthetic chemicals such as petroleum, parabens, phenoxyethanol, phthalates, and artificial preservatives. These ingredients are common in cosmetics such as shampoos, perfumes, and cosmetics.

Organic beauty products can also be made without animal testing, and they do not contain any genetically altered organisms (GMO).

The USDA defines organic as "a system that fosters the cycling of resources." It has been used for many decades to describe food products grown without pesticides.

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for eco-friendly beauty products because of the harmful effects of chemical substances on our bodies.

These include cancer, allergies, skin irritation, hormonal imbalance, and premature aging.

Organic beauty companies believe in creating safe and healthy products while protecting the planet.

What does it mean to be an organic food producer?

Organic food producers create products that are grown without pesticides and chemical fertilizers. These foods include fruits and vegetables, grains, as well as dairy products.

Organic food production takes place on farms where crops are nurtured naturally. This includes soil preparation, pest control, and crop rotation.

The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), must set strict criteria for organic agricultural products.

These guidelines ensure that consumers can access safe, wholesome, nutritious food.

The benefits of eating organic range from lower levels of pesticide residues and heavy metal contamination to higher nutrient content and better flavour.

USDA Organic Products must have the "USDA Certified organic" label.

This certification means the product has met the standards of the National Organic Program.

Organic food not only makes us healthier but also helps to protect the environment.

Organic farming techniques preserve water and land. In addition, organic methods reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which cause climate change.

Organic agriculture uses fewer chemicals, and less pollution runoff.

It improves air quality as harmful gases such nitrates or ammonia are less likely to accumulate in the atmosphere.

There are many types and varieties of organic farming.

Conventional farming involves the use artificial inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides.

Regenerative agriculture uses cover crops and green manures to improve soil quality. It encourages biodiversity.

Agroecology focuses on sustainable relationships between people, plants, and animals.

Permaculture is a system that mimics nature and promotes self-sufficiency.

What is organic food?

Organic produce can be grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. There are no growth hormones used and animal testing is not performed. These crops can grow naturally so that farmers don't have to use pesticides or weed control.

Organic farming methods also help to preserve soil quality, reduce erosion, and conserve water resources. Organics contain more nutrients than regular food and are therefore better for our overall health. Organic products tend to be higher in fiber and lower fat than conventionally produced foods.

Are organic foods healthy?

There are two types. One is those that we grow ourselves, and the other is those that we buy from someone else. There are exceptions to these categories, but most people will answer your question yes. Organic food is healthier than conventional food because it doesn’t contain harmful chemicals, pesticides or herbicides. It also doesn’t contain preservatives or genetically modified organisms.

You can find organic food in supermarkets across North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Many grocery stores now stock organic food. This makes it easier to shop organic.

Organic food is healthier and tastes better because it contains more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients. Organics are grown without using pesticides and fertilizers. They also don't pollute soil or water.

The USDA regulates organic agriculture practices. This means that farmers must adhere to strict guidelines to make sure organic produce is safe to consume. There are over 30 million acres of US organic farmland.

Organic food is often less expensive than conventional food. For the same amount, consumers pay less. Organic farms are able to charge lower prices for their crops because they don't have to purchase expensive chemical inputs like insecticides and fungicides.

According to the Environmental Working Group organic food is 10 percent cheaper per pound than conventionally manufactured food. You can make a change to organic food if your family is concerned about their health.

Organic food has become an increasingly popular alternative to American standard diets. While many believe organic food can only come from specialty markets and fine dining restaurants, it is not true. Organic food can easily be found in any regular grocery store across the United States.

In recent years, organic food sales have been on the rise. In the US, organic food sales reached $43Billion in 2012, an increase of $21Billion in 2007.

Organic foods are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, or antibiotics. They contain more nutrients such vitamins A, C. E, and, in some cases, omega-3 oils. These nutritious ingredients make organic foods better for our bodies, and for the planet.

Organic foods are grown using sustainable farming practices that preserve soil quality and encourage biological diversity. They are free of harmful chemicals and sewage sludge.

Although organics are most commonly associated with produce, organics can also be found in dairy, meats, poultry, eggs and baked goods.

"Organic" is defined by the USDA as crops that have been grown following strict guidelines set forth in federal government standards. Non-organic methods cannot be used by farmers to grow these foods. They can use approved natural pest control methods such as crop rotation, cover cropping and organic animal feed.

Additionally, the farmer must adhere to guidelines concerning the amount of fertilizer and pesticide that he uses during the growing seasons and how he rotates his fields among various crops. GMOs, artificial growthhormones, synthetic insecticides, and synthetic fertilizers cannot be used by farmers.

The requirements for organic fruits and vegetables are met if they are labeled 100 percent organic. But, not all farms label their produce as 100% organic. It would confuse consumers. Instead, they will label the product as "made from organic ingredients". "

What are the best organic vegetables for you?

Organic produce is free from pesticides and herbicides. These chemicals can pose serious risks to our environment and health.

Organic produce is also richer in nutrients, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Organic produce is more nutritious and healthier.

Organic vegetables not only taste great, but are safe to consume. Organic produce does not have side effects.

All grocery stores can carry organic produce. Organic fruits and veggies can be purchased at any grocery store provided they comply with USDA guidelines.

Why should you buy organic?

There have been many health problems linked to conventional farming, including allergies, asthma, diabetes, obesity, cancer, birth defects and hormone imbalances. Healthy choices must be made when purchasing food.

The Environmental Working Group offers these tips:

Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.

USDA organic labels are required for meat, poultry, eggs and milk.

Avoid processed foods that are labeled "natural" or "no added ingredients."

Always read the ingredient lists. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.

How To

5 Reasons Why You Should Buy Organic Products

Organic foods are free from pesticides and synthetic fertilisers. They contain no genetically modified or irradiated food ingredients. Their production does not use sewage sludge and industrial solvents. During the growth process, food is kept clean from any contamination. It is free of artificial preservatives and additives. There is no use of antibiotics or hormones. They are also grown in conditions that ensure they retain their nutritional value for longer periods of time.

1. Health benefits. Nonorganic produce has more chemicals than organic. Organic produce is healthier. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. This also means that you are consuming less toxins and carcinogens.
2. Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizer needs very little water. Organic farms are often located far from areas with high levels of pollution because it takes so much energy for conventional agriculture to grow. This helps to reduce air pollution.
3. Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility rather than chemical fertilizers; this results in healthier soils with higher levels of organic matter. The rotation of crops and the letting of land fallow can improve soil health. When farm animals eat only grasses and grains raised without any added hormones or antibiotics, they develop strong immune systems.
4. Taste. Because they are picked at their peak ripeness and then shipped long distances to supermarkets, conventional fruits and vegetables can often taste bland. Organic produce tastes richer and sweeter because it was harvested while still unripe.
5. Nutrition. Many conventional processed foods contain harmful substances like BPA and GMOs. Stick to whole foods, including meat, eggs fish, nuts seeds, beans and fruit.
