Gluten Free Roll-Out Sugar Cookies

Ingredients

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 stick butter, softened

1/2 cup sour cream

1 egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2-1/2 cups gluten free all purpose flour (we use Cup4Cup)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tablespoon milk

1 tablespoon light corn syrup

Assorted food coloring and sprinkles

Directions

Beat granulated sugar and butter until fluffy and creamy.

Add sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat until combined and smooth.

Add flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Blend well until combined.

Divide the dough into 2 round disks. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Preheat oven to 375.

Roll out one disk of dough to about 1/4 inch thickness on a surface dusted with gluten free flour. Use cookie cutters to cut dough into desired shapes. We recommend using 2 inch cookie cutters.

Place cut-outs on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Bake 6-7 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Cool completely.

Mix powdered sugar, corn syrup, and milk. Divide icing into bowls and add desired food coloring. Mix well and ice cookies. Add sprinkles when wet.

Notes

1. If dough seems to wet, and you are not able to form it into a disc, add some more gluten free flour a 1/4 cup at a time.
2. Dip cookie cutters in gluten free flour prior to cutting to avoid sticking.
3. You can store disks of refrigerated dough in the freezer up to 3 months. We recommend doubling the recipe, baking one disk, and saving three in the freezer for a quick sugar cookie fix.
4. We highly recommend using plant-based dyes instead of artificial dyes.
5. Are you an expert cookie decorator or just want to try your hand at intricate cookie decorating! Use royal icing instead of our quick icing.
