Sugar cookies are such an easy, delicious treat that takes less than 30 minutes to make! You can ice them, dip them in chocolate or have them as they are with a nice cuppa! If you have any questions about the recipe please don’t hesitate to message me on my instagram:

INGREDIENTS
280g plain gluten free flour
1tsp xanthan gum (not needed if it’s in the flour)
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
100g caster sugar
22g icing sugar
112g unsalted butter/ margarine (at room temp.)
1 egg
1tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp milk (optional)
METHOD
Preheat the over to 180C/ 350F
Add the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, caster sugar and icing sugar into a bowl and mix.
Add the butter/ margarine and mix until it forms ‘sandy’ crumbs.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to form a dough. If the dough is too dry, add some milk, a tablespoon at a time. If the dough is too wet, add more flour to the mix.
Once the dough is made, pour onto a floured surface and begin to roll it to a 1cm (ish) thickness. The thinner the cookie, the crispier it will be.
Cut into your desired shapes using a knife or cookie cutters.
After cut, place on a baking tray covered in baking paper or tin foil with 1 cm between each cookie.
Let cook for 8-10 minutes or until lightly brown/ golden brown. Place on a cooling rack and allow to cool before decorating.
