GF sugar cookies

GF sugar cookies

Dry ingredients mix:

2 cup brown rice flour (or white rice)

1/2  cup GF oatmeal flour

1/2 cup pecans (Grind oatmeal flour and pecans together in blender until powdered)

1 cup cornstarch (potato starch)

2 tsp xantham gum

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

Wet ingredients:

1 cup non dairy butter or reg butter

2 cup sugar

3 Tbspn packed brown sugar

2 large egg

4 tsp vanilla extract

1-Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper so the cookies don’t brown to much on bottoms.

2-Add dry ingredients, oatmeal, ground pecans, brown rice, cornstarch, xantham gum, baking powder, salt, together in a bowl and mix with fork. Set aside.

3-In a large electric mixer, beat butter (softened), granulated sugar  and brown sugar until very smooth and creamy about 1 minute.  Beat in the egg, vanilla, mix until creamy and smooth again.

4-add dry ingredients and mix until blended.  Refridegerate for about 30 minutes.

4- Roll out dough using plenty of rice or oatmeal flour.  Cut with well floured cookie cutter and place on parchment paper already on pan.  Or scoop out on pan in tsp size balls and flatten slightly before cooking. This is faster because you don't have to roll them out.

5-Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. 

6-Cool and frost!
