After years of being gluten free, my family finally found a sugar cookie recipe that tastes delicious and puffs up! It was my favorite sugar cookie recipe - just subbing out the wheat flour for King Arthur’s GF flour! Love it when that happens!
Cookie recipe:
Ingredients:
3/4 cup Earth Balance Butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups GF flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
Directions:
Mix butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Mix
in 1 cup flour, baking powder and salt
and add to wet mix. Then add the
remaining flour and mix. Cool in fridge
until firm - about 30 minutes. Preheat
oven to 375 degrees. Roll out dough into
floured surface and cut out into the
shapes you want. Bake on cookie sheet
for 5-6 minutes. More than 6 minutes
and the bottoms will burn!
Christmas Cookie Icing Recipe:
Ingredients
1 cup shortening
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
8 cups powdered sugar (about a 2
pound bag)
1/2 cup coconut coffee creamer
Food coloring if desired
In a mixing bowl with paddle attachment,
mix shortening and extracts until creamy,
at least 1 minute.
Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time.
Add cream 2-3 Tablespoons at a time
alternating with the powdered sugar.
Mix until creamy. Use more or less
cream to reach desired consistency.
Divide out frosting and color if desired.
like to put the icing on piping bags with
different piping tips. We made red,
green black and kept some white and
had plenty to decorate all the cookies.
