Gluten Free/Dairy Free/Soy Free Roll Out/Cut Out Christmas Cookies!
These were delicious!!! I even gave one to a gal at work, and didn't tell her they were gluten free til after she said it was so yummy ;). They're chewy, soft, and taste just exactly the same (nearly) as the regular ones!! I left them a little thick, because that's how I like them, and the center stays nice and soft. The gluten-eating husband also thought they were pretty darn good ;). Not sure what kind of icing to use just yet... suggestions?
As always, you can change up the ingredients as you need to.
1 1/2 cup All Purpose Gluten Free Flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
1/4 cup Tapioca Flour
1/2 cup of sugar
3 Tablespoons of brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 egg
1/2 cup of shortening (I use Spectrum) (I do NOT recommend using oil as a replacement - I have tried this, and the cookies just ran together and made one giant cookie!)
2-3 Tablespoons of Milk (I used Almond Milk)
Directions:
Cream together the shortening and sugars, add the vanilla.
Add the egg, and whisk together for 2-3 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flours, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the sugar mix.
Add the milk until you get a non-sticky dough. It didn't take much for me!
You can refrigerate the dough for an hour, or go ahead an start rolling it out! We didn't wait, lol :), the boys were much to impatient for that! Roll it out, and start cutting out your cookies. It was kind of a play-doh consistency, which the kids loved. And yes, the dough is really yummy too!
