Description

These eggless sugar cookies are a delightful gluten-free treat that are tender, buttery, and perfect for any occasion. Made without eggs and using gluten-free flour, they provide a soft texture and subtle sweetness. With a quick 20-minute prep and baking time, they are an easy and delicious option for those with dietary restrictions or anyone looking for a simple cookie recipe. Optional frosting adds an extra layer of indulgence.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (cold)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups gluten free flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional

  • Frosting of choice

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Pan: First, preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: Cut the cold butter into small cubes. Add the cubed butter and sugar to a large mixing bowl. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the mixture until it becomes fluffy and creamy, which helps incorporate air for a light texture.
  3. Add Flour and Vanilla: Then, add in the gluten free flour and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick dough forms, making sure everything is evenly combined without overmixing.
  4. Shape Cookies: Roll the dough into small 1-inch sized balls. If desired, roll the dough balls in more sugar for added sweetness and texture. Place the dough balls at least 3 inches apart on the prepared baking pan, then press down slightly on each to flatten them just a bit for even baking.
  5. Bake the Cookies: Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the cookies are just barely set around the edges. The centers may still look gooey and soft, which ensures a tender bite once cooled.
  6. Cool and Frost: Finally, remove the pan from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the pan or a wire rack. Once cooled, add frosting if desired to enhance flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use cold butter to create a flaky, tender texture.
  • Do not overbake; cookies should be soft in the center when taken out of the oven.
  • If rolling in sugar, use fine granulated or sanding sugar for better coating.
  • Ensure gluten free flour blend includes xanthan gum or another binder for best results.
  • Frosting is optional but adds sweetness and visual appeal.
