Gluten Free Super Soft Sugar Cookies

One of my most favorite cookies ever has always been those super soft & fluffy cookies with the creamy frosting you get at the grocery store. {Perhaps that is a bit vague, but I don’t know how else to describe them!}

Sadly, when I had to start eating gluten free I couldn’t find anything that even came close {even with so called gf “sugar cookie” recipes.} So, you can imagine how excited I was when I came across a “copy-cat” recipe on Pinterest via The Novice Chef! Her recipe was not gluten free, but it was easily adapted: all I had to do was switch out the flour {and I used my own frosting recipe.} That being said, this is one of those recipes where I think the gf flour you choose is pretty important to the outcome. {Of course that’s true for all recipes, but even more so for this one!}


 
In my experience, the heavier gluten free flours don’t translate quite as well to certain breads and cookies, so with this recipe I made sure to use a flour that was almost completely white rice based {with potato & arrowroot starches being the only 2 other ingredients – it’s very fine & powdery compared to typical “all-purpose” mixes} The exact flour we used can be purchased online from The Silly Yak Bakery {get it?? like Ce-li-ac??} <– we got this stuff for Christmas and it was the perfect consistency!

P.S. You may recognize these from our little girl’s birthday party post! They were totally worth all the time they took!

  1. OMG Kate, you're my new favorite person! I just cut gluten out of my diet about a month ago because of paleo/family history of celiacs. I feel amazing but I missed baked good soooo much! Especially these because I'm in LOVE with these! My dad bought me some of these the week AFTER I cut gluten out and I was so upset. I will be making these as soon as I get home!

    1. haha – let me know how they turn out! I was always “depressed” when I&#39d see these in stores because they are so good lol. Glad to have finally figured out a gf version. It&#39s crazy how many people are finding out they need to eat gf… good luck! 🙂
