But first I needed a recipe for cookies that were delicious, taste like summer & that I could make in enormous quantities. So I adapted another recipe that had the consistency I was looking for with honey and lemon and a bit more sugar to match the summery feel I wanted. This is the result. So I first made a batch for my little men and soon I'll be baking a gigantic amount of cookies & I'll take a tour to visit all the cookie begging colleagues and bring them some.

This recipe makes two dozen cookies.
Ingredients:
- 300 grams (10.5 oz) of rice flour
- 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum
- 1.5 teaspoon of cream of tartar
- 15 grams (0.5 oz) of vanilla sugar
- 100 grams (3.5 oz) of light caster sugar
- The zest of two lemons
- 100 grams (3.5 oz) of butter
- 4 tablespoons of honey
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees centigrade (350 degrees fahrenheit)
- Put all the ingredients in one big bowl and mix till you have a combined dough. It will feel soft, but not extremely sticky.
- Pour some gluten rice free flour on a clean kitchen surface, kneed the dough on it and then roll it out with a rolling pin. Cut out cookies with your favourite cookie cutters. Repeat until you have used up all the dough.
- Put the cookies on baking trays lined with baking parchment and put in the oven for about 15 minutes until slightly risen and golden.
- Take them out of the oven and let them cool completely before you serve them with a cup of tea or coffee.
Enjoy! My boys loved them and I think they have a new favourite cookie.
