Hi all,

I made halloween cookies with my little ones today. I found a great recipe for butter cookies that worked out great. There are only a few ingredients and the dough turns out really nice. I was debating on whether to post this here or the recipe section however I thought coming up on Halloween, someone may see it here and be able to use it with their kids! We use Tom Sawyer All Purpose gluten-free baking flour and it works our really well.

Butter Cookies

1/2 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar

1 egg

3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1-3/4 all purpose gluten-free baking flour (I use Tom Sawyer Flour)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to the creamed mixture. cover and chill for 1 hour or until easy to handle. On a lightly floured surface, roll out to 1/9 in thickness. Cut with cookie cutters and place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheet.

Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.

Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for sharing. I'm "room mom" for the Halloween party at DDs school this year and am making it gluten-free. We are going to do caramel corn balls but she wanted to do cookies or cupcakes, too.

We made the gluten-free Oreo's on Recipezaar.com today and were thinking of doing those with orange frosting, too.

Yours sound nice and yummy for all the upcoming holidays too! I'll definitely give them a try!
