Author:
Ingredients
  • • 1 cup softened butter (if dairy free use soft coconut oil)
  • • 1 cup organic pure cane sugar (could use sucanat but the color will come out darker)
  • • 1 egg (or 1 egg replacer egg if you are egg free)
  • • 1 tsp vanilla
  • • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • • 1 cup tapioca flour
  • • ½ cup white rice flour
  • • ½ cup sorghum flour
  • • 1 tsp xanthan gum (Do NOT leave this out – it helps the cookies rise. You will have a melted mess without it...I have the mess to prove it!)
Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.
  2. Add the egg, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon, and blend.
  3. Add the flours and xanthan gum. Mix until well combined.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  5. Take the dough out of the fridge, and let it come to room temp for about 30 minutes.
  6. Lay out some parchment paper on the counter and flour it with white rice flour. Flour your hands and use the warmth of your hands to gently knead the dough.
  7. Roll out the dough. (Use white rice flour on the rolling pin and parchment paper to keep the dough from sticking)
  8. Cut out your shapes and bake on a silpat (or parchment paper) lined baking sheet at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes. Check them around the 10 minute mark in case our ovens run different.
  9. Let the cookies cool completely before decorating.
