Sugar cookies…oh sugar cookies. Such a tasty treat, a throwback to childhood, and so delicious. I prefer them freshly frosted, my husband likes them a day old so the frosting is crisp…however you like them just make them!

Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Add the softened butter, sugar, vanilla to the bowl of a stand mixer (or any large bowl).
Blend until smooth.
In a medium bowl add the gluten free flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir
Slowly add about half of the flour mixture and blend.
Add the egg, blend.
Add the remaining flour mixture and blend until smooth. It will be quite dry, that is ok.
Using your hand see if the dough compresses into a ball. If it does that is perfect.
If the dough (which should be pretty dry) won’t compress add 1 Tbsp milk. Blend
Pour the dough into a plastic bag, seal the bag. Compress the bag until the dough comes together in a disk.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a stand mixer bowl add the frosting ingredients. Blend until smooth. Add food coloring if you like.
Remove the cookie dough and roll out on floured surface to 1/4” thick. Cut in whatever shapes you like.
Place onto a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Bake for 10 minutes (it will depend on exact shape/size but 10-12 minutes is usually good)
Let cool completely before frosting.
Frost and add sprinkles if you like.

Notes

You can use coconut sugar in place of maple sugar. If you want the frosting sweeter then you will want to use all powdered sugar and no tapioca starch.
