"Children's" GF Soft Rainbow Cookie Recipe

This is actually a very similar recipe to the Adult GF Soft Cookie Recipe below but thought it deserved its own post (partly because it has its own pretty picture!) The basic recipe is the same but I substituted the chocolate chips/chunks for children's sweets. In this batch I used skittles and snowies. I guess M&M's or any other GF coloured sweets would work too.



Children's GF Soft Rainbow Cookies

125g soft margarine
150g soft light brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
150g GF flour
1 teaspoon GF baking powder
1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
A splash of milk
2 packs of GF sweets

  1. Cream the margarine and sugar together
  2. Beat in the egg and vanilla essence
  3. Fold in the flour, baking powder and xanthan gum
  4. Add the milk and stir in
  5. Stir in the sweets
  6. Make small blobs and spread out
  7. Bake at 200C for 15 mins




Leave to cool on the baking tray for 5 mins until cool

The skittles melt and burn a bit around the edges but I quite liked that!

Hi Ju

I have found your blog through the Gluten free message board.

I would like to say a big thank you for your rainbow cookie recipe.

I have just made them, following your recipe and they are absolutely lovely!

I am GF and WF due to coeliac, but also can't have dairy or eggs - so I managed to adapt your recipe using dairy free alternative and an egg replacer.

Thank you so much, this is the first successful thing I have cooked.

All the best
