Servings: persons

5 1/3 tablespoons buckwheat flour
4 tablespoons brown rice flour
4 tablespoons white rice flour
5 1/3 tablespoons sorghum flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
6 1/3 tablespoons butter softened
1/2 cup cream cheese softened
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 tablespoon red food colouring liquid
6 7/8 tablespoons cream cheese
1 1/2 cups gluten free icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
sprinkles to decorate

1
In a small bowl whisk together the buckwheat flour, white rice flour, brown rice flour, sorghum flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
2
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl using a handmixer) beat butter, cream cheese, and caster sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
3
Add vanilla and red food colouring and mix until combined.
4
Reduce speed to low and beat until well mixed.
5
Gather dough into a ball, place on a piece of plastic wrap and flatten into a disk. Wrap up and refrigerate for two hours.
6
Preheat your oven to 180C (350F) and line two baking sheets with baking paper.
7
Roll out dough between two pieces of baking paper to about 0.5cm (1/5 inch) thickness.
8
Use a cookie cutter of your choosing to cut out cookies and place them on the lined baking sheets. Leave room between cookies for a little spreading.
9
Refrigerate cut-out cookies for ten minutes before baking in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Swap trays around halfway through to ensure even baking.
10
Once the cookies are baking, remove them from the oven. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes and then cool completely on a rack.
11
After the cookies have cooled prepare the frosting. In the bowl of a standmixer fitted with the paddle attachments beat together all frosting ingredients until smooth and creamy.
12
Place about 1 teaspoon of frosting on each cookie and use a knife to spread it to the edges. Decorate with your favourite sprinkles!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
