Gluten-free Sugar Cookies

Even though I advocate finding joy in foods that are naturally gluten-free, it is the holidays. And I still like some traditions. No matter what, I still like roll-out sugar cookies, thick and threaded through with vanilla, cut into Christmas-tree shapes and frosted with buttercream frosting.

This is a recipe I adapted from Sonya Joseph's gluten-free cooking class I took at the beginning of the month. They work. They'll fill that need.

2 1/2 cups of your favorite gluten-free flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 1/2 teaspoons of xanthan gum (omit if your gluten-free flour mix already contains this)

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup margarine

1/2 cup butter

1 egg

2 teaspoons vanilla (make sure it's gluten-free. Use only pure vanilla, please.)

1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

After you have preheated the oven to 350

Great recipe! I used all butter as that is what I had in the house. They rolled our beautifully into many shapes. Slightly underbaking them produces a soft in the middle cookie. I'm going to make some into Milano type cookies when they cool down. I shaped some into pretzel shapes and sprinkled with coarse sugar. They look like the ones in the blue tins everyone has at Christmas---but they taste way better!

Yeah Patti!

Soft Gluten Free Sugar Cookies

INGREDIENTS

4 cups gluten free flour (I use this mix: 1 cup cornstarch, 1 cup tapioca flour, 1 cup rice flour, 1 TBSP potato flour)

3 teaspoons guar/xanthan gum

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup butter, softened

1 1/2 cups white sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup sour cream

DIRECTIONS

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg, vanilla and sour cream until well blended. Stir in the sifted ingredients. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill overnight.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

I got this recipe from allrecipes.com years ago, and it became "my" sugar cookie recipe. I modified it to take it gluten free. The cookies are incredibly soft, so much so that they even take a little longer to dry out than most gluten free cookies. ;) I hope it works well for you.

I made these cookies this morning, while the taste was wonderful, I had a lot of trouble with the cookies crumbling. I used Tom Sawyer's flour blend and omitted the xanthan gum since the flour mix already has it in. By the last cookie sheet I figured out these things: Roll out the dough to at least 1/2" thick or more and don't leave the cookies rest 5 min. on the pan, remove them promply. When I followed the directions exactly, The cookies stuck to the cookie sheet leaving half the cookie behind and they would just crumble. I have had a similar experience with chocolate chip cookies. Anyone know how to remedy the "crumbling" cookie?

I would suggest using parchment paper, then let the cookies cool on it while loading up cookies on more paper. Or spray the pan?? More xanthan gum??

I made the egg free version (applesauce as a sub). The first batch tried to crumble so I let them cool a bit before removing them. They were fragile but hardened after cooling. They were so yummy there wasn't any leftover :)

The second batch, I baked them too long and they were hard. Mine never stuck to the cookie sheet and I never used parchment. I think some frosting should soften them.

I want to try making them again.

Just a follow up. I made a batch of these this morning and I tried out a couple of different things and they turned out great. No more crumbling cookies! I used two eggs instead of one, rolled them out double the thickness recommended, and baked them for 10 min. on parchment paper lined cookie sheets. After taking them out of the oven I just slid the cookies on the parchment paper off onto a cooling rack to completly cool. They came off without a problem and did not crumble. They were great!! Santa is going to have some awesome cookies this year!! Happy baking everyone!

I made these in my avitar. The dough ends up very elastic-not super sticky, but I rolled it out between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, cut the shapes out, pulled the excess off around the shapes and inverted the plastic wrap onto parchment paper. Sounds harder than it was, but overall, no major problems. They taste really good, very buttery!

2 sticks of softened butter

1 c sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

3c gluten-free flour

3 tsp xanthan gum

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

Cream butter and sugar till fluffy, add eggs and vanilla

Combine dry ingredients together, add slowly to the butter mixture

Divide into 3 balls, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze for 30-60 minutes

Roll out (like mentioned above). Bake 375 for about 7-10 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cool completely before frosting.

Your wish is my command :D

These are really good--I think they taste like "regular" sugar cookies, and the prep is the same....

Thanks a million jerseyangel (Patti) - this recipe is now my Sugar Cookie recipe - I don't have to look any further. Even my fussy husband thought they were good. Now all I have to do is decorate them to take to surprise my celiac son on Boxing Day. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :D

      Toothpaste question.

      By RDLiberty · Posted

      So, I've been using a gluten free labeled toothpaste since being diagnosed with celiac. No big deal, the toothpaste seems to work. Question is, I just realized it contains hydrated silica.  Now, I've heard that silicon dioxide can cause issues in some people with celiac (was that ever confirmed though?), so to be safe, I cut it out of my diet entirely. But, as I understand it, hydrated silica is related to silicon dioxide. Is that something to worry about, or is the hydrated form not known to cause issues like the silicon dioxide form?  I've never seen it in food, but nearly every toothpaste I look at contains hydrated silica?  Issue or not?  Any scientific research (Not opinion pieces, not health bloggers, you get my gist), but actual science, that says it's an issue? I have a hard time believing 99% of what I read on random internet searches.    Thanks so much, Renee.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Since 2015 we've spent extensive time in Italy and I've been able to eat their wheat products without incident. Initially, I was practically starving thinking foods in Sicily were not gluten-free.  An Italian friend who had lived in the US for over 20 years said she had celiac/gluten-free friends from the US who could eat Italian wheat products without problems. Hesitantly, I tried little by little without issues.  A few years later at a market, I asked a bread vendor if they had gluten-free loaves. Turns out she had lived in LA, said groups believe it's not the gluten that's causing our bodies harm, but potassium bromate; these groups have been trying to ban it.  Bromines and other halogens wreaks havoc to our endocrine system and, more specifically, our thyroids and immune systems. When bromines are ingested/absorbed into the body, it displaces iodine causing other health issues. Potassium bromate is a powerful oxidizing agent (dough 'conditioner') that chemically changes flour to enhance elasticity, bleaches the dough, and ages the flour much faster than open air.   Shortly thereafter while visiting friends in California, one family said they had gone gluten-free and the difference was incredible. The reason they choose this path was due them (a biologist/chemist/agriculturist scientist) having to write a portion of a paper about a certain product for the company he worked. Another company's scientist was directed to write the other portion. All was confidential, they weren't allowed to know the other company/employee.  After the research, they learned gluten was being removed from wheat, sent elsewhere, returned in large congealed blocks resembling tofu, and then added to wheat products. Potassium bromate has been banned for use in Europe, China, and other countries, but not in the US. Then we have the issues of shelf preservatives and stabilizers. What are we eating?  Why? We spend long periods of time in Italy and all has been good.  We just returned from an extended time in Greece;  no issues there either.  There is a man there we learned about on a travel show about Greece who walks the hills, picking herbs, pods, etc.  He is a very learned scholar, taught at the university level in Melbourne. It took a few days to locate him, but were finally successful. He too, is concerned about the additives and preservatives in American food (many of his customers are Americans, haven't been in the best of health, and have become healthier after visiting him). He suggested taking a food product from the US and the same product in Europe, and compare the different ingredients. Then ask why these things are being allowed in the US by the 'watch dog' of our foods and drugs. It would be amuzing if it weren't tragic. I'm presently looking for flour from Europe that I can make my own bread and pasta as the gluten-free bread is now $7.99 a (small) loaf.  BTW, studies are showing that many gluten-free individuals are becoming diabetic. My guess is because the gluten-free products are high in carbs. This is only my experience and opinion garnished by my personal research.  I hope it helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      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!
