Method

• Pre-heat oven to 180°C, place baking paper onto baking trays.
• In large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, xanthan gum, salt, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk together until blended.
• Add the butter, egg and vanilla and knead with your hands. You want a smooth soft dough, not to sticky.
• Flour a clean work surface and roll out the dough 3-4mm, dip star cookie cutter in flour and start to cut.
• Slide a flat spatula under the shapes and place on the tray. These cookies don’t spread significantly. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
• Cool for 10 minutes before removing from tray. Optional: Sprinkle gold leaf on top if you want to bling up! Cookies can last up to 2 weeks in a closed container.
