Ingredients

  • 250 g peanut butter I used both smooth and crunchy on this occasion
  • 50 g caster sugar
  • 100 g gluten free plain flour
  • 50 g rice flour or 50g more GF plain flour
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 60 ml dairy free milk I used soya
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to Gas 5| 190°C | 170°C Fan | 375°F
  • Add all the ingredients to the mixer or bowl and combine to a thick pasty dough
  • Roll into 16 balls and pancake between your palms
  • Pop onto a lined baking sheet
  • Press a fork into each biscuit to make a pattern [see notes for other pattern tips]
  • Cook for 10-15 mins depending on how soft you want your cookie
  • Remove from the oven and cool for 5 mins before placing on a cooling rack.

Optional filling

  • If you wish you could sandwich the cookies together with jam/jelly

Notes

In the photo's I have used my new patterned rolling pins to still get the round shape I rolled each ball of dough into a short sausage shape and rolled the pin width-ways to achieve the rounder shape, otherwise you end up with oval shaped cookies.
Other pattern ideas: why not use a frying mesh or slotted spatula, you could press a colander into the dough or even clean bubble wrap. The possibilities are endless, as long as it's clean and hygienic you could use any textured surface.
