Did you know you can freeze both baked biscuits (cookies) and the unbaked dough. This is how you freeze them both.

Baked Biscuits (Cookies)

Preparation

Freeze baked biscuits (cookies). Those with high-fat content freeze the best.

Packaging

Pack the cooled biscuits in a labelled and dated bag or container. You may wish to separate each with foil or greaseproof paper.

Thawing

Thaw in the containers for 30 minutes at room temperature. If it is necessary then you can refresh them for 5 minutes in a fairly hot oven.

Storage Time

6 months

Unbaked Dough

Preparation

Roll the unbaked dough into a cylindrical shape. Alternatively, pipe or shape them onto a baking sheet.

Packaging

Wrap the cylindrical shape in foil.

Open flash freeze the piped or shaped dough until solid.

Pack in a labelled and dated bag or container.

Thawing

For the cylindrical dough, soften for 30 - 45 minutes in a refrigerator and then slice off and bake according to the recipe.

The piped or shaped biscuits can be baked from frozen. Remember to leave extra baking time though.

Storage Time

6 months

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
