It’s cookie season again. This time I have decided to start early, trying to get a head start on the recipes that will be just right for this year’s holiday baking. I can’t even tell you how many sugar cookies I have made to get the perfect consistency. This recipe calls specifically for Cup4Cup gluten-free flour. Any other type will yield in different results because each flour blend is different.
The texture of these cookies are soft, held their shape and not crumbly at all. I just couldn’t get enough and ended up having to hide a few from my kids so I could enjoy with my morning cup of coffee. They were frosted with a simple royal frosting but also tasted great on their own. This is the last rolled sugar cookie recipe I will ever need.
