Living Life, Gluten Free!

Simply gorgeous Gluten Free Christmas Cookies with Stained Glass. You can can make these with your kids, they are SO easy!

Ingredients

  • 175g or 1.5 sticks dairy free margarine (or butter)
  • 200g/ 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 450g/ 3 & ¼ cups all purpose gluten free flour blend
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum (omit if included in your flour blend)
  • 1 teaspoon gluten free baking powder
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp almond extract
  • 1lb bag of hard clear candies (like Jolly Ranchers)

Directions

  • READ NOTES FIRST
  • You will need two cookies cutters of the same shape, with one smaller than the other for the cut out centers.
  • Preheat your oven to 350F
  • Separate the hard candies into their various colors and put each color in a small ziplock bag.
  • Using a rolling pin or something similar carefully smash the candies into small pieces.
  • Cream together margarine and sugar.
  • Add in eggs and vanilla and almond extracts and mix until combined, remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Measure out the dry ingredients into another bowl and mix by hand to combine the gum and baking powder.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the sugar and egg mixture and mix well to combine.
  • If the cookie dough is too soft to roll out at this point, place it in a bag or in a covered bowl in the fridge to allow the margarine to harden enough so that you can roll it out later.
  • When the dough has hardened roll it out on parchment paper, I use cling wrap to cover the top of the dough as I roll it out so that it does not stick to the rolling pin, I dont use extra flour.
  • Transfer the cut out cookies to the lined baking sheet and then use a smaller cutter with the same shape to cut out the centers.
  • Fill the center of the cookies with approx ½ to 1 tsp crushed candy.
  • Bake cookies for 12 - 14 minutes at 350F on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Allow to cool on baking sheet, the cookies will firm up once cooled and the glass center will harden.
  • The candy will be bubbling when it comes out of the oven, this is normal and it will spread out when it cools down and the bubbles should disappear.
  • Serves: 24 cookies
