Sugar Cookies (Gluten Free)

My favorite Sugar Cookie recipe! Easy to make, great for cutting into fun shapes. Works great with low cost gluten free flour from Walmart!

Time
Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 12 mins Total Time: 27 mins
Cooking Temp 375  °F
Ingredients
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softned)
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar (packed)
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tsp Pure Almond Extract (optional if you have it)
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 1/2 cup Flour (Gluten Free) (I have been using Walmart's Great Value GF Flour (lowest price) and it has worked great!)
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, cream Butter, Brown Sugar, and Sugar with a mixer
  2. Beat in the Egg, Vanilla Extract, and Almond Extract (if using)
  3. In a medium bowl, add the Flour, Baking Powder, and Cinnamon and mix together with a whisk
  4. Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the batter and mix until fully combined. It should come out soft like playdough.
  5. Shape into two balls of equal size and wrap each with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour
  6. Pre-heat over to 375 degrees
  7. Pull out one ball of dough from the fridge and roll out on floured surface to 1/4" thickness. Cut out and place on baking sheet. I like to use parchment paper on my baking sheet. Do the same with the second ball of dough
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, depending on your oven, until the edges are lightly brown. You can go a little longer if you like your cookies crispier.
