Sugar Cookies

Cummulative Rating

Servings
Makes about 4 dozen
Difficulty
Easy
Ingredients

1-1/4 cups unsalted butter (2-1/2 sticks), at room temperature
1 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
4 large egg yolks, at room temperature
1 Tablespoon finely grated orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups gf flour
Directions
With an electric mixer, beat butter with sugar and salt, until creamy. Beat in egg yolks, lemon zest and vanilla. On low speed, beat in gf flour, 1 cup at a time, until just combined.

Divide dough into 4 equal pieces and flatten them into smooth disks. Wrap separately in wax paper and refrigerate until firm, at least 30-45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Roll out one disk at a time between two pieces of parchment paper to 1/8" thickness. Using pumpkin shaped cookie cutters, cut the dough. With a metal spatula, transfer cookies to a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 10-15 minutes, until pale golden. Let cookies cool on parchment, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookies.
Tips
We used The Gluten Free Pantry’s Country French Bread Flour Mix for the gf flour in this recipe (www.glutenfree.com).

How much pumpkin do I add to make the Pumpkin Sugar Cookies? It is not listed with the other ingredients above. Thanks, R. Canon

I used this recipe, modified to be dairy-free, as my Christmas sugar cookies.

really loved these! We made them for our Chanukah party and everyone was shocked that they were gluten free. Can’t wait to make them again!

These cookies taste very good, especially with sprinkles on top, but they are very hard to roll. I instead shaped the dough into a log and chilled it that way and then sliced them into circles. Much easier!
