Amazing Gluten-free Cookies

Hi again,

I know an increasing number of people out there are becoming gluten intolerant and how hard it can be to find great gluten free recipes so i thought it would be nice to share a nice basic gluten-freee cookie recipe with everyone. This is just straight vanilla cookie, to fancy it up a bit you can also add nuts, choc chips, fruit or anything you want. My favourite addition is macadamia and white choc chips.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

125g (1.5 oz) butter

4 tbsp caster sugar

1 tsp natural vanilla extract

150g (5.5 oz) gluten free plain flour (all-purpose)

70g (2.5 oz) gluten free self-raising flour

- Start by preheating the oven at 170 degree C (325F) and lining a baking tray with baking paper.

- Add the butter caster sugar and vanilla extract into a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until well combined and smooth.

- Sift the flours into the bowl

- Mix with a wooden spoon until combined

- If the mixture seems a little too dry add small amounts of milk until soft enough to roll into balls.

- Roll mixture into balls and place on baking tray. Squash down to approximately 1cm thickness. Don't worry if the sides start to split, i just smoothed them over a little and they turned out fine.

- Place tray in oven for 20mins

- Take cookies out of the oven and let cool.

YUM! they kinda taste like shortbread but i think they're better :D
