Valentine’s Day Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (200g) butter
  • 1.5 cups (180g) Natural Life icing sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp Natural Life cornflour
  • 0.5 tsp Natural Life salt
  • 3 cups (480g) Natural Life rice flour
  • 0.5 cup (120ml) water
  • Strawberry jam

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, beat the butter and icing sugar. Add the vanilla, cornflour, and salt, and mix well.
    Finally, add the rice flour and water, and stir until the ingredients are fully combined.
  2. Knead the dough with your hands until it comes together, then divide it into two portions.
    Wrap each portion in cling film and refrigerate for about an hour, until firm.
  3. Preheat the oven to 170°C.
  4. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface (use rice flour).
  5. Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut the dough into round biscuits.
  6. Transfer them to a baking tray lined with baking paper.
  7. From half of the biscuits you have cut, use a small heart-shaped cutter to make a hole in the centre
    (this will allow the jam to show through when assembling them later).
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. (These biscuits should remain pale after baking.)
  9. Once baked, transfer them to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, spread a little strawberry jam over one biscuit and place a biscuit with the
    heart-shaped hole on top, forming a “sandwich”.
  11. Dust the biscuits with icing sugar.
  12. Allow the biscuits to set with the jam, then enjoy!
