Yes, it is March and yes, Lachie is wearing a Father Christmas outfit. He is super cuddly in all that red velour. Yesterday we made our favorite biscuits - I can't believe I havn't posted this recipe before! These biscuits came from the Pure margarine website which is excellent - you tell them what you want to avoid and they give you recipes. They have lots of different versions of a shortbread recipe and this chocolate chip version is really very fine. I have been eating these biscuits all morning. They are loved by the gluten-free and gluten-eating alike and have a lovely melt in the mouth texture that you don't seem to get that often in gluten-free baking!
Chocolate Chip Cookies (gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free)
200g Pure (dairy-free) margarine
100g caster sugar
200g rice flour
30g cocoa
100g chocolate chips (eg Dr Oetker plain chocolate chips which are dairy free)
Cream together the margarine and sugar and then mix in the other ingredients to get a thick dough. Lachie loves pouring in the chocolate chips (and then stealing them back out of the bowl).
Roll into little balls and arrange on a baking tray - I usually get at least 30 biscuits - and flatten each one with a fork. The biscuits don't spread when cooking so they can be fairly close together.
Bake at 170 degrees Celsius for 12 - 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and try to resist eating them all while the chocolate chips are still molten.
If we are going to toddlers we usually take a couple of these in a tin for Lachie to eat, and Hamish is also partial to a couple on the way home from school.
