Ingredients
- 120g unsalted butter, softened
- 70g golden caster sugar, plus extra for dusting
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 120g gluten-free flour, plus extra for cutting
- 60g cornflour or arrowroot
- Pinch of salt
Method
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180C/ 160C fan/ gas 4. Next, mix the butter, sugar and vanilla into a bowl until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Following this, in the same bowl sift in the gluten free flour, cornflour or arrowroot and a pinch of salt. Fold in the butter and mix until the mixture becomes a soft dough.
Step 2: Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the dough until it is roughly 4mm thick. Using a 7.5cm round biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuit shapes and place 1-2 cm apart on a lined baking tray. Add a light sprinkling of sugar and bake for 15 minutes until the cookies are lightly golden.
Step 3: Once cooked, gently transfer onto a cooling rack and allow to cool before serving.
These cookies will last up to 2 weeks when kept in an airtight container.
