Ingredients :
- 170 g gold foil wrapped Stork margarine block
- 170 g granulated sugar
- 280 g gluten-free / plain flour
- 3 tbsp or as required milk of choice (I use light coconut milk)
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- My Royal Icing recipe for the glaze
- Tubes of writing icing or an edible ink pen to decorate
Method :
- Cream the margarine and sugar together then beat in the milk and vanilla
- Sift in the remaining ingredients and mix to form a dough
- Halve the dough and wrap each ball in clingfilm, flattening into discs before refrigerating for at least 30 minutes
- Preheat the oven to gas 5 / 190C / 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Flour a work surface then unwrap the dough. Let it sit at room temp for 10 minutes then roll or pat it out until it"s 1/4" thich
- Using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut as many shapes as you can fit. I used a 3" cutter here. Keep rerolling the dough until you"ve cut as many shapes as possible. Out of the 2 doughs you should get 30 - 32 hearts or you can keep 1 wrapped dough in the freezer for another day
- Put the cookies on the baking sheet and bake for 12 - 15 minutes or until golden
- Let cool on a wire rack while you make the royal icing - see my previously posted recipe for instructions
- Split the icing into 3 or 4 bowls and colour it as you wish. Emmy wanted bright pink, Jack wanted "Kermit" green and Michael wanted blue but pastel colours are the best effect for these!
- Ice your cookies as instructed in my Royal Icing recipe and let set for a few hours, 3 - 5 hours is the normal time my icing takes
- There are my gift ones in pastel pink for further decoration
- Use an edible ink pen or a tube of writing icing to write your Valentines messages on the cookies. Have a cocktail stick handy to move the lines of writing icing into place if you make a mistake
- Let set again then give away to the ones you love!
