Gluten Free Cinnamon Cookies!


Autumn is by far my favourite season of the year (or for other countries, 'Fall' lol). And I feel like the best way to kick off the Autumn season is to bake something with cinnamon in it. The house just feels so warm and cosy with the smell of freshly baked goods and cinnamon lingering in the air. So I thought it would be a nice idea to do a quick little recipe for you guys. Enjoy!

Ingredients: 
- 3oz margarine
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla essence 
- 5oz gluten free flour 
- 5oz sugar 
- 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
- 2 egg yolks
- a dribble of milk
- a little bit of olive oil 
- a little bit of flour to roll out pastry 
- a sprinkle of sugar at the end to decorate

Method: PREHEAT OVEN TO 150 DEGREES CELSIUS 

1) Put margarine, vanilla essence, flour, sugar, cinnamon and egg yolks into a large mixing bowl.  I used a hand whisk to blend everything together in the bowl until the mixture formed into a ball. You can also use a bit of milk to help the mixture stick together. 


2) Sprinkle some flour onto a clean surface and place the dough ball onto the surface. Knead it for a bit and then roll it out into a thick slab. 


3) Once you have the thickness you want, use a cookie cutter and cut into shapes that you want. Line a baking tray with baking paper and place cookies onto the tray. 



4) Brush the tops of the cookies with olive oil and put in the oven for 15/20 mins. Whenever they start to turn golden. 



5) Once they're out of the oven, sprinkle with sugar and cool down on the tray. Enjoy!




Hope you guys enjoyed this little post! I have a lot going on with results from my exams and college offers! Hope you enjoyed this.
