Gluten-free Sugar Cookies

Even though I advocate finding joy in foods that are naturally gluten-free, it is the holidays. And I still like some traditions. No matter what, I still like roll-out sugar cookies, thick and threaded through with vanilla, cut into Christmas-tree shapes and frosted with buttercream frosting.

This is a recipe I adapted from Sonya Joseph's gluten-free cooking class I took at the beginning of the month. They work. They'll fill that need.

2 1/2 cups of your favorite gluten-free flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 1/2 teaspoons of xanthan gum (omit if your gluten-free flour mix already contains this)

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup margarine

1/2 cup butter

1 egg

2 teaspoons vanilla (make sure it's gluten-free. Use only pure vanilla, please.)

1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

After you have preheated the oven to 350

Great recipe! I used all butter as that is what I had in the house. They rolled our beautifully into many shapes. Slightly underbaking them produces a soft in the middle cookie. I'm going to make some into Milano type cookies when they cool down. I shaped some into pretzel shapes and sprinkled with coarse sugar. They look like the ones in the blue tins everyone has at Christmas---but they taste way better!

Yeah Patti!

Soft Gluten Free Sugar Cookies

INGREDIENTS

4 cups gluten free flour (I use this mix: 1 cup cornstarch, 1 cup tapioca flour, 1 cup rice flour, 1 TBSP potato flour)

3 teaspoons guar/xanthan gum

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup butter, softened

1 1/2 cups white sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup sour cream

DIRECTIONS

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg, vanilla and sour cream until well blended. Stir in the sifted ingredients. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill overnight.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

I got this recipe from allrecipes.com years ago, and it became "my" sugar cookie recipe. I modified it to take it gluten free. The cookies are incredibly soft, so much so that they even take a little longer to dry out than most gluten free cookies. ;) I hope it works well for you.

I made these cookies this morning, while the taste was wonderful, I had a lot of trouble with the cookies crumbling. I used Tom Sawyer's flour blend and omitted the xanthan gum since the flour mix already has it in. By the last cookie sheet I figured out these things: Roll out the dough to at least 1/2" thick or more and don't leave the cookies rest 5 min. on the pan, remove them promply. When I followed the directions exactly, The cookies stuck to the cookie sheet leaving half the cookie behind and they would just crumble. I have had a similar experience with chocolate chip cookies. Anyone know how to remedy the "crumbling" cookie?

I would suggest using parchment paper, then let the cookies cool on it while loading up cookies on more paper. Or spray the pan?? More xanthan gum??

I made the egg free version (applesauce as a sub). The first batch tried to crumble so I let them cool a bit before removing them. They were fragile but hardened after cooling. They were so yummy there wasn't any leftover :)

The second batch, I baked them too long and they were hard. Mine never stuck to the cookie sheet and I never used parchment. I think some frosting should soften them.

I want to try making them again.

Just a follow up. I made a batch of these this morning and I tried out a couple of different things and they turned out great. No more crumbling cookies! I used two eggs instead of one, rolled them out double the thickness recommended, and baked them for 10 min. on parchment paper lined cookie sheets. After taking them out of the oven I just slid the cookies on the parchment paper off onto a cooling rack to completly cool. They came off without a problem and did not crumble. They were great!! Santa is going to have some awesome cookies this year!! Happy baking everyone!

I made these in my avitar. The dough ends up very elastic-not super sticky, but I rolled it out between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, cut the shapes out, pulled the excess off around the shapes and inverted the plastic wrap onto parchment paper. Sounds harder than it was, but overall, no major problems. They taste really good, very buttery!

2 sticks of softened butter

1 c sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

3c gluten-free flour

3 tsp xanthan gum

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

Cream butter and sugar till fluffy, add eggs and vanilla

Combine dry ingredients together, add slowly to the butter mixture

Divide into 3 balls, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze for 30-60 minutes

Roll out (like mentioned above). Bake 375 for about 7-10 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cool completely before frosting.

Your wish is my command :D

These are really good--I think they taste like "regular" sugar cookies, and the prep is the same....

Thanks a million jerseyangel (Patti) - this recipe is now my Sugar Cookie recipe - I don't have to look any further. Even my fussy husband thought they were good. Now all I have to do is decorate them to take to surprise my celiac son on Boxing Day. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :D

      @Louise Broughton, Some types of interferon drugs can precipitate a Thiamine deficiency, by destroying thiamine and blocking its absorption.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms encompass all the symptoms you listed.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi caused by Thiamine deficiency has symptoms of vomiting, bloating, abdominal pain and diarrhea.  I've experienced this.  I took high dose Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine, and a B Complex. Thiamine can also be low on the Gluten free diet.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing with Benfotiamine and the B vitamins.   Interesting Reading: Gluten-free diet intervention reduces thiamine intake in two weeks, increases glycaemic response and decreases body weight in four weeks, with no long term nutritional deficiencies https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34583628/ Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Hi, @Blue Roan, I have Sjogren's Syndrome that made my salivary glands under my jaw swell.  I also have dry eyes from Sjogren's.  Yes, Sjogren's is yet another fun autoimmune disease that can occur in Celiac Disease.  It starts in the salivary glands. Vitamin D deficiency can also make salivary glands swell.  I was very deficient in Vitamin D also.  Vitamin D is instrumental in regulating the immune system and lowering inflammation. My dentist checked for stones blocking ducts in the salivary glands, too, but I didn't have any of those.  Yeah!  Try cutting out the antihistamines, because they make everything dry up.   Correcting my Vitamin D level to 80-100 nmol/ml has helped immensely.  I also supplement with Omega Threes (flax seed oil, oil of evening primrose) which has also helped my dry eyes and reduced my enlarged salivary glands.   Hope this gives you some direction to go next on your journey.  Wish it was better news.  Keep us posted on your progress!   P.S. Interesting Reading: Association Between Vitamin D and Minor Salivary Gland Inflammation https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9807185/ Outline of Salivary Gland Pathogenesis of Sjögren’s Syndrome and Current Therapeutic Approaches https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10342367/

      In my case I the rash and marks that present tend to be AFTER I have been scratching the skin, not before.  There are several varieties of eczema.  .   https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/eczema/types A few years ago, I was convinced my son had ringworm.  He had marks all over his torso, and given we live near livestock, I assumed he'd picked something up at the nearby farm.  Took him to the doctor who had seen a lot of different types of rash fully expecting him to agree, and he told me, "No, he's got discoid eczema".  He gave me a cream to put on my son, and it was gone within a few days and has never come back.  I think then it was to do with bubble bath we were using. Do you use that sort of thing? If so, do use hypoallergenic products, and make sure you rinse properly.  I remember one dermatitis saying only reserve 'heavy soaping' for under the arms.  Any large areas of skin which don't look dirty just need water.  This has been helpful.  A good emollient cream would be good too, for eczema sufferers, to be put on straight after your shower or bath.    Another tip that I have found helpful is 'treat any new outbreak'.   If I do that, I find it really stops it spreading.  I hope you get to see a dermatologist soon, but for the meantime do keep a food diary.  Try to identify all the foods that are causing your eczema and mouth symptoms.  I am sorry your doctors are being so dismissive of your symptoms as those sound very real to me.  I have a friend who has experienced the same and she couldn't get any doctors to believe her either.  In the end she paid for a private allergens test and it turned out yeast was a huge trigger for her.

      Are you scratching hard enough to leave bruising -- the dark marks?  But no rash?  And worse with exercise?  And no flaking?   I had vitamin deficiencies that caused neuropathy - itching, buzzing, tingling sensations, that I would scratch until I left bruising.   Many of the B vitamins, if deficient, can cause this itchy feeling without a visible rash on top of the skin.  Vitamins B12 Cobalamine, B6 Pyridoxine, Niacin B3, and Thiamine B are important to nerve transmission.  The B vitamins can be low in gluten free diets and deficiencies worsen over time.  I supplemented with a B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and relieved the itchy feeling. Are you taking any supplements?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies recently?   The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is p'd out if it's not needed.  Try supplementing with B Complex and Benfotiamine to see if it helps.

      It’s interesting you mention eczema I had that as a child. Use to get it on my arms and hands . I wasn’t sure if this was the case again, because my skin isn’t flaky, I don’t have a rash like I did in childhood.  But similarity I notice certain foods really triggers the itch. Rice, is a major tigger when I eat rice I end up itching all night long. I can do oats too but it makes my mouth and tongue go numb after eating them. I try to avoid it.  🤔 on the blood work, I haven’t had any done in a while. It’s difficult speaking to doctors at times as they dismiss it as psychological. But I’ll keep pushing for an answer. Thanks to everyone who replied I really appreciate it.
