Gluten Free Sugar Cookies
Description
The recipe begins by creaming cold butter with sugar until fluffy and free of lumps, which helps prevent the cookies from spreading too thin during baking. Eggs and vanilla bring moisture and flavor, while gluten-free flour and baking powder provide structure and lift without gluten. The dough is thick, so manually flattening balls of dough before baking ensures they bake evenly.
Cookies bake at 350 degrees until the edges turn golden, resulting in tender sugar cookies with a light crumb. They can be served for casual snacking or as a simple base for decorating during holidays or events.
Storage in an airtight container at room temperature keeps cookies fresh for several days. They also retain texture when refrigerated, adding flexibility for serving and keeping leftovers.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter cold
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour gluten free 1 to 1
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch salt sea salt
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter and sugar. Mix on high for 2 to 3 minutes or until fluffy. There should be no clumps of butter remaining.
- Then, add in egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- Add all remaining ingredients. Stir to combine.
- Then, use a cookie scoop to scoop balls of dough onto lined pan. Use hands to slightly flatten each ball of dough.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Use cold butter from the fridge to limit cookie spreading during baking.
- Mix butter and sugar thoroughly until no clumps remain for consistent texture.
- The dough will be thick; flatten cookie balls slightly before baking for even cook.
- Store leftovers airtight at room temperature up to 4 days or refrigerate to extend freshness.
