Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters Milk
- 50 grams Granulated sugar for topping
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and 150 grams of sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
In a small bowl, mix the 50 grams of sugar and the ground cinnamon.
Sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture generously over the top of each piece of dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the biscocho is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
