Christmas Cookies: Gluten Free Sugar Cookies Recipe
In addition to the usual Christmas cookie suspects, I also like to add some gluten- and dairy-free sugar cookies to the mix each year.
Now, if you’re skeptical, I will tell you: They are actually pretty good! Despite your allergies, you can still enjoy a good Christmas cookie.
Enjoy!
Gluten Free Sugar Cookies
Author: Nisa Burns Cochran
Ingredients
- 1½ cup gluten free flour
- 1 cup corn starch
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp can xanthan gum
- Pinch of salt
- 8 Tbsp soy free butter
- 1 egg or 1 Tbsp to 3 tbsp water (heat in pan till egg like consistency)
- ¼ cup rice milk (add more, 1 Tbsp at a time, if needed)
- 1½ tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350℉.
- Mix all dry ingredients together in mixer.
- Add in butter and vanilla, and mix again.
- Add in milk.
- Mix again till the mixture becomes doughy (if too dry, add more milk; if too wet, add more gluten-free flour, one Tbsp at a time).
- Place the dough in a bowl in the freezer for 30 to 45 min, until stiff.
- Roll dough into little balls and place on a cookie sheet (like drop cookies).
- Bake for 12 minutes.
