Gluten Free Confetti Cookies
Ingredients
125g butter, at room temperature
200g soft brown sugar
2 eggs
300g gluten free plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
150g Blackwoods rainbow chips
Preheat oven to 180°C (160C fan forced)
Beat butter and brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs and beat well after each addition.
Sift together plain flour and baking powder and mix into the butter mixture. Stir in rainbow chips.
Using a tablespoon to measure, roll spoonfuls of mixture into balls and place about 15cm apart on oven trays lined with non-stick baking paper. Flatten the balls to about 7cm in diameter and 5-8 mm thick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and cool on trays.
Tips & ideas
Blackwoods rainbow chips are a wonderful addition to any pantry. Chocolate is one of the ingredients that poses the most problems for people with allergies and intolerances. Rainbow chips are nut, egg, dairy & gluten free and readily available in the baking aisle at the larger supermarkets.
If you require dairy free, simply swap butter for dairy free spread.
Try scooping ice cream between two to make an ice cream sandwich…..trust me, they’re delicious.
