Disclaimer: While these are gluten free, these are not paleo, nor would I consider them healthy. Enjoy them in moderation with someone you love.
We don't eat a ton of sweets, but every now and then I have a killer sweet tooth and need something more than a piece of super dark chocolate, (and it was Valentine's Day this week). Both these recipes I modified from Gluten Free Girl and they are delicious. I had to get them out of the house asap, so I took them to the gym. Ironic, I know, but everyone needs a little sweet every now and then.

**Gluten Free Ginger Molasses Cookies (left):
Sift 1/2 c sorghum flour, 1/2 c brown rice flour, 1/2 c arrowroot, 1/2 c teff flour, 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt. Add 2 tsp ground ginger, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp black pepper.
In a large bowl cream 1 1/2 sticks softened butter, 3/4 c brown sugar and 1/2 c xylitol. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, then add 1/2 c molasses and 2 tbs fresh ginger (peeled and finely diced). Incorporate dry ingredients slowly - when well combined add 1/2 c greek yogurt and 1-2 cups of crystalized ginger.
Drop spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet and bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
**Gluten Free Pear & Cardamom Mini-Muffins (right):
In a saucepan, heat 10 tbs butter just until it starts to foam. Add 1 large grated pear, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 2 tsp ground cardamom, 1/2 tsp ground ginger.
In a large bowl combine 3/4 c almond flour, 1/4 teff flour, 1/2 c arrowroot, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1/4 tsp baking powder. Add 3/4 c xyliotl, 2 heaping tbs of greek yogurt, and 2 large eggs and whisk until combined. Mix in dry ingredients, then add the pear/butter mixture. Mix in some toasted walnuts and bake at 375 in a greased mini-muffin pan for about 10-12 minutes.
