Hazelnut and maple cookies

So these biscuits came about from an empty pantry, so I improvised  and they ended up being really delicious so I though I would share:

Ingredients:

125g of nuttlex

1 cup castor sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

2 tbs maple syrup *

1/4 cup hazelnut meal

1 1/4 cups self raising flour

1 tsp xanthan gum

Method:

1. preheat oven to 180. Cream together butter and sugar. Add vanilla.

2. Beat in egg. Add in maple syrup and hazelnut meal, stir until combined.

3. Mix in flour and xanthan gum.

4. Spoon about a tablespoon of mixture onto a baking tray spacing biscuits a few centimetres apart.

5. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

Enjoy! 

* be careful what maple syrup you use, some contain glucose syrup derived from wheat.
