Need Cutout Sugar Cookies And Cake Recipe

[Coleslawcat]

Hello,

I am newly diagnosed with celiac as of today. I'm still trying to come to terms with what my new diet will mean. My biggest hobby is baking and cake/cookie decorating and now I need to figure out a new way to do this. My daughter's 3rd birthday is in a few weeks and I need a good gluten free cake recipe I can use in a Wilton shaped cake pan. Hopefully, one that people on a regular diet would enjoy too. I also make cut-out sugar cookies as favors, so I'm hoping someone can give me a tried and true recipe that works well.

Thank you, Karen

For the sugar cookie mix, I highly suggest using gluten free mama sugar cookie mix. :-) Best of luck.

I posted a really good sugar cookie recipe under the baking section of this site. I believe the thread is called "Amazing Christmas Recipe", but I'm not totally sure. They are super easy to make!

As for cake, I like Pamela's but some people seem to have problems with it. Kinnikinnick white cake mix is good too.

Karen, here's the one everyone seems to like on this board. I just copied and hopefully it will paste:

I use this sugar cookie recipe from Gluten free cookie school. They're really good. The best part is that you can be flexible. I made DH these cookies with m&m's in them.

Gluten Free Sugar Cookies

1 c. sugar

1 c. butter (2 sticks)

1 egg

2 1/2 c. Gluten Free Flour All Purpose Flour Mix

1 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. cinnamon (optional)

1. Cream the sugar and butter (for further direction click here).

2. With the mixer still on medium speed, add the egg. Mix until well combined.

3. Sift the Gluten Free Flour Mix, baking soda and cinnamon.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix well.

5. Shape the dough into a ball and place between two sheets of wax paper that have been very lightly floured. Flatten the ball a bit, and then roll out the dough until it is 1/8 inch thick. (more on this next week, if you

Here's the Amazing one...

After some experiment, the recipe is perfected. My gluten-eating friends have all requested that I bring these to every gathering, and many of them took the recipe as well!

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup butter (CF-margarine)

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

Cream the above together, then stir in

2.5 cup Kinnikinnick cookie mix

Roll between parchment paper (can be dusted with the cookie mix), cut into your favorite shapes

Bake at 350*F for 8-10 minutes, until lightly browned on edges.

Ice with your favorite icing, let harden.

Yummy, and look good too!

Thank you for the suggestions. I will try out the cookie recipes.

I gotta say - I combined a little of the two recipes, used a mix of Tom Sawyer and Sweet Sorghum flour, and they came out darn good. A little icing, and voila - Eat N Park, eat your smilie-faced heart out. Great recipe! Thanks!

I have added a few cakes here for you. Let me know if there is a specific flavour you are looking for. I am the official baker amongst my friends (2 of us have celiac disease) and they love my cakes.

Here is a chocolate cake recipe that is pretty popular at my house.
