Because let's be honest... most traditional hot cross buns? Heavy, packed with refined sugar and leave you feeling bloated after one or two.
Why You'll Love These
These cookies give you that classic Easter flavour... just without the downside.
They're:
• Gluten free

• Actually satisfying (not sickly sweet)
And the best part? You can enjoy them without that "ugh I ate too much" feeling after.
Add butter to the mixing bowl and melt. 3 MIN / 70 ℃ / SP 2.
2. Add flour, baking powder, salt, coconut sugar, mixed spice, egg, water and sultanas. Mix 10 SEC / REVERSE / SP 4.
3. Spoon dough into 12 small rounds onto lined tray/s
4. Bake cookies for 15-17 minutes until golden and set aside to fully cool. Meanwhile, clean and dry the mixing bowl.
5. Add white chocolate and melt. 5 MIN / 50℃ / SP 2. Scrape down sides. Repeat if needed until all chocolate is completely melted.
6. Only once the cookies have fully cooled, pipe / drizzle white chocolate over cookies in a cross formation.

NOTES
• For egg free version simply replace egg with 1 tsp apple cider vinegar.
• Use dark or milk chocolate for the crosses if preferred.
• Replace sultanas/dried mixed fruit with chocolate chips for a more indulgent result.
