Excellent gluten-free Sugar Cookies

I adapted this from an award winning old family recipe, and they turned out great!

Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies

1 cup shortening plus 2T butter

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

(mix the above ingredients until creamy)

Add:

1 egg plus one egg white

1 t vanilla

approx 1/2 t salt

1/2 t cream of tartar

1 t baking soda

2 t xanthum gum

2 cups of flour mix: I used 1 cup of superfine brown rice flour and 1 cup Grandma Ferdon's flour mix

Mix together and chill for an hour. Then roll in balls. Flatten out on baking sheet with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake until light brown (12-15 minutes) at 350 degrees. For Christmas, I sprinkled with red and green sugar after flattening.

The original recipe used regular flour and no xanthum gum. It also only used one egg, but mine seemed a little dry, so I added the egg white.

You are awesome!! I have a VERY similar sugar cookie recipe that I tried to adapt the other day to be gluten free. They came out all crumbly, but tasted great! All the other recipes I have found have to be rolled out. I HATE rolling out cookie dough. I will try our your version of my favorite recipe and see how it tastes!!!!

Thanks,

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.
