Here is one of my easy gluten free recipes for you all which also works well using flour containing gluten:

Set oven to 150 degrees (130 if fan assisted, gas mark 2)

Ingredients:

• 125 g very soft butter
• 125 g brown caster sugar
• 2 tbsp milk (can be skim, semi skim or whole)
• 175 g of gluten free (or regular) self raising flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 50 g crushed candy cane (approx 3 regular sized canes)

Method:

1. Cream together the butter and sugar
2. Beat in the milk
3. Add flour and spices and mix until you have a stiff dough
4. Put the candy canes into a double carrier bag
5. Bash bagged candy canes on hard surface until broken into a mix of  powder and small chunks
6. Add the candy cane pieces to the dough and mix until combined
7. Press or roll dough out on a floured surface until it is a uniform thickness
8. Cut out shapes or roll into small balls and flatten with a fork
9. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes on a cookie tray
10. Cool completely before removing from cookie tray
