Atop each of Jules Shepard’s free weekly recipe newsletters is her mantra: “Perfecting Gluten-Free Baking, Together.” From her easy-to-read cookbook (“Nearly Normal Cooking for Gluten Free Eating”) to her highly rated reference for making the transition to living gluten free easier (“The First Year: Celiac Disease and Living Gluten Free”), Jules is tireless in the kitchen, at the keyboard and in person in helping people eating gluten free do it with ease, with style and with no compromises.Directions:
Beat together the butter, sugar and
salt until light and fluffy. Add in egg white, vanilla and milk.
Slowly beat to incorporate the flour and baking powder, mixing until
totally combined.
Refrigerate until cold for slightly thicker cookies, or bake immediately.
Preheat oven to 350F (static) or 325F (convection).
Scoop dough into a piping bag or other freezer weight plastic bag with a small corner cut out. Evenly squeeze buttons of dough out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming rounds approximately ¾-inch wide, spaced 1/2 inch apart.
Bake for approximately 10-14 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned.
Yield: 7 dozen cookies.
