Christmas cookies free from gluten, dairy, egg and nuts

Archie wanted some Christmas biscuits so late one afternoon just before dinner we came up with this recipe. He ate 3 of them before dinner and another three after. I think he liked them!

This is Archie with his little sister.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups gluten free flour (we recommend our flour mix)
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 tablespoon corn flour
• 1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup dairy free margarine
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup caster sugar
• 1/4 cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup dairy free chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries (plus a handful to chop and sprinkle on top at the end)
• 1 cup dairy free white chocolate

Method

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
• Grease and line 3 baking trays with baking paper.
• In a medium bowl sift and whisk together flour, xanthan gum, corn flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• Using a hand-held or stand alone mixer, beat margarine, brown sugar, caster sugar, coconut milk, and vanilla until fluffy. Slowly beat in the dry ingredients. Once combined, add the choc chips.
• Scoop about 1 rounded tablespoon of mixture at a time onto the prepared trays, leaving about 5cms between each.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden. For a crunchy biscuit bake a little longer.
• Let the biscuits cool and harden.
• Melt white chocolate and with a teaspoon spread on the biscuits in whatever design you like. As you can see we did one half of the biscuit.
• Chop a handful of the dried cranberries and sprinkle on the melted white chocolate.

And enjoy!
