A Gluten Free bikkie recipe to share

No it isn't an ice block recipe, just had to include this playdough photo as Lochy demonstrates how super yummy it is.  Just to get you in that cooking mood!

All I do is roll it out and the kids have enjoyed cutting out thier own bikkies, so here it is:

GLUTEN FREE SUGAR COOKIES

2 ½ cups gluten free self-rising flour  ( I use the brand Ogran self-rising flour)
2 ½ tsps Xanthan Gum
1 cup white sugar
1 cup butter
1 egg
2 tsps pure vanilla
½ tsp nutmeg

Note:  Chill dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour.  This is essential for gluten-free dough.

Mix all the dry ingredients together and set that bowl aside.

Cream together the butter and sugar, preferably with a standing mixer.  Then, add the egg and vanilla.  Beat these as long as you can.  The more airy and whipped they are, the better the cookies will taste.  -that's so true

Add the dry ingredients, along with the nutmeg.

Chill in the fridge for an hour.  - its too sticky otherwise and will not roll out.

When the dough is properly chilled, roll it out to ½ inch thickness and cut with your favourite cookie cutters.  - do the usual flouring of the rolling pin so it doesn't stick, roll out on a floured surface and you might want to flour your cookie cutters as well.

Bake on a baking sheet at 180 degrees for 12 – 15 min depending on your oven.
