Rolled Sugar Cookies?

[KirsiOlson]

Hi, this is my first post.

I've known I had celiac for all of my 16 year old life and for a time I ignored it, and during that time I realized I utterly adore sugar cookies! But ever since I went back to a gluten-free diet, I haven't been able to find a sugar cookie that I can actually use..

So. Does anyone know a tried and true rolled sugar cookie recipe that doesn't use xanthan gum, sorghum, milk, nuts, chocolate, corn syrup, cream of tartar or butter?

Thank you in advance.

If you have an old family recipe that you love for sugar cookies, you could use that, substituting in palm oil shortening for the butter. If your recipe calls for milk, you could easily substitute almond, rice, or soy milk without any problems. I use rice flour for sugar cookies for DH, and have found cookies are just fine without xanthan gum.

Here's my recipe:

1 c. sugar

1 c. butter

1 egg (beaten)

1 1/2 c. rice flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. salt

3/4 c. potato, corn or tapioca starch

M&Ms or Reese's Pieces are great in these cookies.

Cream butter and sugar until pale yellow (you can use a mixer for this step). Stir in the remaining ingredients and mix well (by hand). Drop onto cookie sheets by the tablespoonful.

Optional rolled: Roll out to desired thickness using extra potato (or whatever) starch. Cut out, place on cookie sheet.

Bake at 325 degrees for 12-15 min. (I always use parchment paper to avoid sticking.)

For chocolate chip cookies: use 1/2 c. regular sugar + 1/2 c. brown sugar and your favorite chocolate chips.
