How to Make Incredible Gluten Free Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 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, almond flour, cornstarch, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes, or fill a cookie press and pipe onto the baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
