Brandy snaps are a popular dessert during the holiday season, and this gluten-free version means that everyone can enjoy them, regardless of their dietary restrictions. They are a crisp and delicious cookie that are filled with a light cream to give them a soft center. The combination of ginger and golden syrup creates a warm and comforting taste and smell, perfect for the chilly winter months. This recipe is incredibly easy to make and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser for any holiday gathering with family and friends.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 175°C.
2.	Melt the butter, brown sugar and golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and allow to cool.
3.	Sift the gluten-free flour and ginger together into a bowl and mix well.
4.	Add the cooled butter mixture to the flour mixture and stir until combined.
5.	Using a teaspoon, drop small amounts of the mixture onto a lined baking tray, leaving plenty of space between each one as the mixture will spread while cooking.
6.	Bake for 7-10 minutes or until golden brown.
7.	Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a minute or so before using a spatula to carefully remove each brandy snap from the tray. They will snap easily and be fragile, so handle gently.
