Gluten Free Sugar Cookies

Every so often, I get asked the question, " do you make gluten free sugar cookies?" And my answer has always been - "no...not yet." I was always focused on making my with gluten cookies that I didn't think it was possible to make a gluten free version that was AS good as the real deal.

I told those individuals that if I got enough interest that I would "look into it." Well...that day has finally come.

I went to Pinterest to find a recipe that I thought was similar to my recipe yet with the gluten free flour. Well I am proud to say that I had success with the first recipe tried although finding the right ingredients was key!

I know Fred Meyer's down the road from my house has a really good Organic and Gluten Free section so I started there. Unfortunately they didnt have what I was looking for. Stumped...I remember "HEY! There is a GF MARKET right next to Trader Joe's"...and sure enough they had a whole SLEW of GF flour to chose from and the right one I needed.

I used XO Baking Co. Gluten Free All Purpose Flour and it worked great. Yeah it smelled a little different and when I taste tested the dough it tasted different. And the hardest part was rolling out the dough. It was especially precarious to roll and lift up onto the pan to bake. So I had to use my spatula to transfer them from the counter to the pan.

After baking them and letting them cool I used my regular buttercream frosting recipe, no gluten there and they turned out just great! I think I honestly like them just as much as the real deal! They are still soft but slightly different in texture.

Gluten Free Seahawk Cookies

Since the Seahawks were playing I thought I would make some football themed cookies and they are my "most popular" cookie shape.
