Ingredients:
2 cups white wings gluten free plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg lightly beaten
1/3 cup Perfect Sweet xylitol
175 grams (6.17 ounces) Nuttelex
2 tbs vita-soy rice milk or soy milk
1/2 a vanilla bean

Method:
Line 2 trays with baking paper and preheat a fan forced oven to 180 degrees

Using a small sharp knife slice the vanilla bean length ways and open it up, then using the side of the knife gently scrape the seeds from inside the bean

In a small bowl combine the vanilla seeds with some of the Perfect Sweet xylitol and break the seeds up using the back of a spoon

In a mixing bowl combine the nuttelex, Perfect Sweet xylitol & vanilla seeds

Using a beater cream these ingredients together for 1 minute until pale and fluffy

Sift baking powder and flour over nuttelex mixture

Add milk and egg then mix till just combined

Roll heaped teaspoon size balls and and place spread apart on tray, flatten slightly using two fingers (be warned this is a sticky, messy process, do not be tempted to add extra flour. Also to achieve the look in the photo don’t remove batter off your hands in between each cookie, as this stickiness will create the prickly effect)

Bake for 10 minutes, swap trays around and bake for a further 5 minutes

Remove from oven and leave on trays to cool



Note:

- Keep well in a sealed container for up to 4 days

- When swapping the trays turn the oven fan off when you open the oven door, and then turn it back on once the door is closed, so that the heat doesn’t escape
