Very Delicious Gluten Free Milk Free Cookies

I had this recipe from a fellow Twitter friend some time ago now and it's my 'go to' cookie recipe I think it's originally from an Annabel Karmel book but where ever it's from it really is delicious!

For this recipe, which makes roughly 20 cookies, you will need:

• 100g softened unsalted butter
• 100g golden caster sugar
• 100g light muscavado sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 175g plain flour
• half a teaspoon of baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 100g chocolate chips or shamed up chocolate buttons

Preheat the oven to 190 C. 

Beat the sugars and butter together until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla essence and mix. 

Sift in flour, baking powder and salt and mix again.

Add the chocolate and mix in.

Roll into balls about the size of a walnut and put onto non-stick grease proof paper on a baking tray. Bake for about 12 minutes.

Put the cookies on a wire rack to cool and eat while crispy on the outside and gloopy inside.

Strawberry Nesquik Cupcakes

Look good don't they? That's because they are of course! I made these a while ago thanks to one of my lovely pen friends and have decided after being asked a few times I shall post the recipe on Cupcake Mumma. These cupcakes are gluten and dairy free but of course you just substitute all of these ingredients for whatever items you'd prefer. There will be no difference in the outcome.

You will need:

110g Doves Farm self raising flour

110g caster sugar

110g dairy free butter (I use vitilite)

2 eggs

Baking powder

Vanilla essence

50g Nesquik milkshake powder

Method:

Cream butter and sugar together. Add your eggs ( I recommend one by one) until your mixture is well mixed.

Add your flour, baking powder, vanilla and Nesquik. Give your mixture a good stir before placing small spoonfuls into cupcake cases.

Bake on 180 degrees for about 15/20 minutes (My oven is pretty fast so do keep an eye!)

We've had these cupcakes plain and found they were just as delicious without icing as they are with. You can add the strawberry nesquik to icing sugar but I didn't find that quite as nice after I bought a tub of strawberry icing from the supermarket! (pictured)
