Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/175C & grease an oven tray.
• In a large bowl mix sugars together.

• Mix ingredients til well combined. If mixture is too sticky/runny add some flour/gluten-free flour to the mix.
• Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons of the mixture onto the greased baking tray. TIP: they will spread out while baking so don't crowd tray. You may need to do two batches.
• With a fork, make a slight indent to flatten cookies.
• Bake for 8 minutes for soft cookies, >10 (til browned) for crisper cookies.
• Let cool for 10-15 before touching otherwise they will crumble.
