1. Whisk the flour, xanthan gum if using, cocoa powder and baking soda together.
2. Cut in the butter to form a breadcrumb mixture then mix in the sugar.
3. Add the vanilla and enough milk to form a soft dough.
4. Wrap and let chill in the fridge for 1 hour..
5. Let the dough rest out of the fridge for 20 minutes then flour a surface and roll out to around 5mm thick.
6. Cut out the cookie shapes using a 2.5 cm cutter. Place back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Re-roll scraps and repeat. Put back into the fridge for 20 minutes to chill again. This will stop the shapes spreading when baked.
