Spring Sugar Cookies: Yum-O!

The European Union has been considering a ban on food colorants because of a link between artificial dye and ADD/ADHD.

I certaintly hope our great nation follows in their foot steps.  In the meantime, I will continue making our goodies in order to avoid over-processed, chemical laden foods.

Today we made sugar cookies for Easter.  We used naturally derived food colors (yellow from turmeric and orange from annatto), India Tree Nature’s colors decorating sugars and Lets Do Sprinkelz chocolate toppings.

This recipe (oh, so tasty) is gluten free, dairy free and vegan from Karen over at Only Sometimes Clever (we use an egg replacer like Ener-G or flax gel and Earth Balance shortening). I especially enjoy the combination of whole grain flours (even better if you grind them fresh!).
