Well my lovely friend Amanda, emailed me a delicious cookie recipe which I have tweeked to be 'free from'. One of my boys decided he wanted to make them with me and we have a yummy success, after a huge amount of cookie dough splattered around the kitchen, the cooked cookies were so delicious that rather too many than needed have been consumed!
Chocolate cookies
350g Dairy free margarine
250g Raw cane caster sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp of vanilla extract (I thought this added a bit more depth to the flavour but not essential!)
375g Gluten free flour (I used Dove's Plain flour)
1 tsp of Xantham gum (this gave it a bit more strength but not totally essential)
50g Cocoa powder
Preheat oven o 190C/Gas 5.
Cream together margarine and sugar until it is really soft and nearly falls off the spoon.
Add egg, vanilla extract, flour, xantham gum and cocoa. Mix with the whisk on a low speed. Once all combined it should form a soft dough. If you are using a cookie press do not put into the fridge or it will become too firm.
Either make your cookies in a cookie press or roll into little balls and put onto a greased baking tray. Pop into the oven for 10-12 minutes
Cool on a wire rack - they will last in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
So what are you waiting for go get that kitchen covered in cookie dough!
