6 Days Until a Gluten Free Christmas: Sugar Cookies

Next up is a recipe for Sugar Cookies. This will come in handy for a little dessert but also maybe the cookies you leave for Santa should be Gluten Free?? I am sure Santa might appreciate some nice Gluten Free cookies to eat with his milk after making a stop at your house. So on that note here is a recipe from Celiac.com

This is a great site and has a lot of useful information.

Here is the recipe

Christmas Sugar Cookies (Gluten-Free)

3 cups gluten-free flour mix*
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

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.

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.

2 cups powdered sugar mixed with some melted butter & lemon juice frosts one batch. Bake at 350F for 9 minutes.

Again this is from Celiac.com.

Hope you enjoy, please let us know how they turn out!
