How to Make Gluten Free Cinnamon Bun Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the chopped pecans or walnuts (optional).
  7. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and granulated sugar.
  8. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  9. Tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into 1-inch thick cookies.
  10. Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Drizzle with cream cheese frosting (optional) and enjoy!
