Gluten-Free Tuesday: Sugar Cookies Recipe

• Dry Ingredients
• 2 cups white rice flour
• 1/3 cup cornstarch
• 1/3 cup sweet rice flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Wet Ingredients
• 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened (If you are dairy-free, shortening works well in this recipe.)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• Coarse sanding sugar, about 1/2 cup

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together sugar, butter, and vanilla, about 1 minute.
4. Add eggs, one at a time, and mix until well combined.
5. Reduce speed to low and add the dry ingredients. Mix for 45 seconds.
6. Chill dough for 15-20 minutes.
7. Roll dough, about 2 tablespoons each, into a ball. Roll dough ball into the sanding sugar. (To make this step go faster, I use a cookie scoop.)
8. Place coated dough ball onto prepared baking sheet. Be sure to space cookies about 2 inches apart. Flatten cookies very slightly with the palm of your hand.
9. Bake cookies, about 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
10. Remove cookies from the oven and allow to cool for 3 minutes on the baking sheet. After 3 minutes, transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.
11. Store cookies in an airtight container.
