How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour mix, xanthan gum, egg replacer, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of the mixer, cream the margarine and sugar until light. Add the egg replacer and vanilla and beat well.
  • Add the dry ingredients in 3 additions. If the dough becomes too stiff, add the water as needed.
  • Shape the dough into two logs. Wrap and chill about 20 minutes.
  • Cut into 1/8" slices, if you have a cookie stamp, you can at this point press in onto the sliced cookies before baking. Bake these cookies on an UNGREASED cookie sheet for 10 minutes.
  • Let cool for only a few minutes before removing from the cookie sheet. Cool thoroughly on a rack.
  • For the filling, combine confectioners' sugar, shortening, vanilla and hot water ( use enough to create a good spreading texture).
