A while back, I posted a recipe for Cabernet Cookies, using Cabernet Grape Seed Flour from AprèsVin. I thought they turned out very well –not too sweet, full of antioxidants and rich, dark chocolate; basically, my family was hooked.

Recently, I was reviewing the comments for that post and saw this one that Jenné from sweetpotatosoul.blogspot.com left.  In it she mentioned making some cookies with grapeseed flour, so I hopped over to her blog and to take a peak. Jenne had a delicious looking recipe for Riesling Shortbread, which I decided to attempt to make gluten free.

Here it is.

Riesling Biscuits
1 ½ cups blanched almond flour
¼ cup riesling grapeseed flour
½ teaspoon celtic sea salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
¼ cup agave nectar

1. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients
2. In a smaller bowl, combine wet ingredients
3. Stir wet ingredients into dry
4. Roll out dough to ¼-inch thickness between 2 pieces of parchment paper
5. Using a butter knife or a pizza cutter, cut dough into 2 inch squares
6. Transfer to a parchment lined cookie sheet
7. Bake at 350° for 8-9 minutes, until just a tad browned on the edges
8. Serve

You can make little designs on the biscuit –I used a butter knife and was happy with how they turned out.  Also, I would recommend serving these gluten free Riesling Biscuits with just a smidge of goat cheese –haven’t tried it myself, though I think it would be wonderfully simple, yet sophisticated.
