Gluten Free Holiday Sugar Cookies Recipe

Come holiday time at the end of the year you will often find there is very few gluten free foods you can enjoy, so you’ll probably be forced to bake your own.  Don’t fret though, as this can sometimes be a good thing!   If you have young children in your home, I definitely recommend making sugar cookies.  You can get them involved with cutting and icing the cookies, and they will of course enjoy the end product as well. 

Here is the recipe for sugar cookies:

Gluten Free Holiday Sugar Cookies Recipe

Sugar Cookie Ingredients:

• 3 cups gluten-free flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon soda
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon almond (or flavoring of your choice)
• 1 cup gluten-free margarine

Sugar Cookie Directions:

1. Sift flour, soda & cream of tartar - cut in margarine or butter (I find that margarine is easier when rolling out the cookies). Beat eggs, add sugar & almond - mix well. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and mix well by hand.
2. Chill at least 15 min (several days is also ok). Roll out to desired thickness on floured surface and cut into shapes. Decorate with colored sugar, or if you prefer, after baked & cooled frost and then sprinkle with colored sugar, etc.
3. 2 cups powdered sugar mixed with some melted butter & lemon juice frosts one batch. Bake at 350F for 9 minutes.
