As a child, making and decorating sugar cookies was an integral part of enjoying the Christmas season. Choosing the shapes, choosing the colour of icing, and then getting to feed the cookies to jolly old Saint Nick was certainly very joyous.
There are a ton of variations of this classic cookie, and it luckily is very easy to turn any run of the mill sugar cookie recipe into a gluten free one. It works with a wide variety of the gluten free flours out on the market, and different G-Free mixtures. I recommend trying out your favourite recipe with some different types of flour. In the mean time, if you don't have a preferential recipe, here is one of mine!
Sugar Cookies
3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar (this works well with granulated coconut sugar)
2 lrg eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
2 1/2 cups GF mixture
In a medium sized bowl, sift the flour, xanthan gum and baking powder. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, and add the vanilla. Slowly add in the flour mixture. Chill for at least half an hour.
Bake at 375º on a parchment lined cookie tray for about 6-7 minutes, or until light golden on the bottom.
Let cool on the cookie tray for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
