Gluten-free hot cross cookies

Hot cross cookies

These gluten-free hot cross cookies melt in your mouth and are delicious and crunchy. Make a double batch because they will disappear very fast.

With the addition of cinnamon in the dough you get all the Hot Cross bun vibes.  I developed this recipe for my children’s cooking classes and they have always been a hit.

Just use plain flour if you don’t have gluten-free flour. This is such a fast recipe with very few ingredients. You can be munching on biscuits in 3o minutes.

Scale

Ingredients

120g Gluten-free flour blend

60g softened butter

40g castor sugar

5ml cinnamon

5ml vanilla

20g currants

1 bar of white chocolate melted


Instructions

Preheat oven to 180’C

Rub the butter and flour together with your fingertips until you get a crumbly mixture.

Add the currants, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon, and stir through.

Use your hands and squeeze the dough together. It will take a while for the butter to soften.

Make a sausage shape with your hands and wrap the dough in cling film. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes. If you are in a rush you can skip this step.

Cut 5mm discs and place on baking tray.

Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Leave to cool

In the meantime melt the white chocolate in a bowl over boiling water.

Place the biscuits close to each other and use a teaspoon to drip a line of chocolate over the biscuits vertically and then a horizontal line to form a cross.

 


Notes

You could use raisins but I prefer to use currants because they don’t burn so easily. The biscuits are also quite delicate so the currants just works better.
