Gluten free cookies with a deliciously soft centre, packed with almond and cherry goodness. You will never know these cookies are gluten free. After making my first batch of these I knew I was on to something special, I had missed the taste of an old school thin, yet gooey in the middle cookie. Think Subway and Millies Cookies style, you will love this gluten free version. If cherries and almonds aren’t for you, try choc chips, gluten free oat and raisin, raspberry or m&ms! See the recipe below.

230g unsalted butter (softened)
100g caster sugar
250g light brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
380g gluten free plain flour
1 tsp xanthum gum
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp of salt
200g glace cherry halves
100g flaked almonds
