Gluten Free Halloween Emoji Cookies

Ingredients

  • 200g gluten free plain flour
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 100g dairy free margarine
  • 1 medium sized egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • mix of coloured fondant icing I use ready roll

Instructions

  • Place all your ingredients into a mixer (gluten free flour, xanthan gum, caster sugar, dairy free margarine, egg and vanilla extract). Combine thoroughly. (you can do the same with a hand mixer if you prefer)
  • Remove from mixer and bring the dough together into a ball.
  • Wrap the dough in clingfilm and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 180c (160 fan)
  • Grease a couple of baking sheets.
  • Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a lightly floured surface.
  • Roll it out to about 1/2 cm thickness & then, using a cutter to cut out your shape - Halloween Pumpkin preferably! Place your shapes on your baking tray.
  • Place in the oven for around 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden.
  • Once slightly cooled, transfer to a cooling rack.
  • Whilst your biscuits are both in the oven & cooling get your icing prepared.
  • Roll out your icing on a surface lightly dusted with icing sugar. Make sure its fairly thin.
  • Cut out your shapes with both, if you have cutters/templates it might be easier!
  • Stick your icing to your biscuits. I lightly brush the icing with luke warm water and stick it to the biscuits. (be patient & be gentle!!)
  • Enjoy!

Notes

If you prefer you can stick the icing to the biscuits using either a light layer of jam OR by making a little dairy free butter cream and spreading it on the biscuits first.
