Vickys Remembrance Day Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies GF DF EF SF NF instructions

1. Cream together the sugar and Stork / butter, then mix in the milk, lemon zest and vanilla.
2. Mix in the flour, baking powder and xanthan gum if using until you form a dough. Gluten-free flour may need an extra tablespoon of milk added in.
3. Sprinkle in the poppy seeds and knead through.
4. Wrap in clingfilm and refrigerate for an hour.
5. Preheat the oven to gas 5 / 190C / 375°F.
6. Roll or pat out the dough to around 5mm thick and cut rounds out with a 3 inch cookie cutter. I get between 24 - 30 depending on the flour I use.
7. Bake for 15 - 18 minutes until golden.
8. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Mix the icing sugar with just enough water to make a thick but spreadable glaze and pour some into a piping bag.
10. Pipe a white background circle onto each cookie and let set.
11. Remove 6 tablespoons of leftover white icing and colour 3 black and 3 green.
12. Colour the rest red.
13. The poppy emblem used by the British Legion is the shape of a number 8 with a wider bottom or a snowman if you can picture that better. Put the red icing in a piping bag and pipe that outline onto each cookie then go back and fill the shapes in.
14. When the red has set use the black to pipe a dot in the middle of each poppy.
15. Then use the green to make the stems or a leaf if you like.
16. Let set for a good hour before serving.
17. In memory of those who fought for their countries and laid down their lifes in the hope that the future could be lived in peace. Lest We Forget..
