To Create!
Recipe yields about a dozen cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350°F

2. CREAM TOGETHER in large bowl:
1/2 cup Spectrum (our preferred organic & dairy-free shortening)
1 & 1/3 cup Sugar
3 TBSP light oil (we like sunflower)

3. ADD:
1 extra large egg (or 2 small)
2 tsp vanilla extract

4. Beat until creamy. Then ADD:
2 & 1/2 cups Little Aussie’s all-purpose, gluten-free flour
1 & 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp guar gum (this lends greater binding & elasticity to dough)

5. Mix until well blended. Dough should be soft. >>If the dough seems stiff, add 1-2 TBSPs of water and mix.

6. Use a teaspoon to scoop the dough. This will make nice circular cookies.
OR!!!
Roll the dough on a clean, floured surface (to keep the dough from sticking) to a 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into shapes!!

Scoop or place cookies on a greased cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with sugar or leave plain for decorating later with icing.

7. Bake 15-18 minutes or until edges brown slightly. Remove and cool.
