How to Make Gluten Free Sugar Cookies

  1. Whisk together 2 cups gluten-free flour blend, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder in a medium bowl.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. With the mixer running on low speed, add 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
  5. Mix until the dough is smooth and well combined.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  7. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disc.
  8. Wrap each disc tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 3 days).
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  10. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to 1/8-inch thickness.
  11. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. Place cookies onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
  12. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  13. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake; cookies should not brown.
  14. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
