These cookies are another great lunch box filler for your children. They can be made in a variety of shapes and sizes, from filled pillows, to pinwheels, to cookies of various shapes topped with jam and covered. Make them whichever way your children like best.

Ingredients:

280g Butter

1/2 cup Caster Sugar

2/3 cup Powdered Milk

2 Eggs

3.5 cups gluten-free Self Raising Flour

1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence

1/2 teaspoon Salt

2 cups Pineapple Jam for filling (please check the recipe from our blog)

Method:

Preheat oven to 180C

Beat the butter, salt, sugar and vanilla until soft and firm. 

Add eggs one by one. 

Mix in the flour and powdered milk. The mixture must be soft but not stick on your hand - if too wet, add some extra flour

Use the cookies cutter or press set to make any shape you like. 

Pipe the jam filling into the center/ topping. 

Bake for about 18 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool on the rack and place in airtight container.

Tips:

• You can roll out the mixture with the rolling pin,and place the filling in the center, like sausage rolls. Or, make a ball with the filling inside.

• Brush the cookies with beaten egg yolk to form a glaze.

• These cookies are actually soft biscuits, so don't worry if they are not crispy after cooling.
