Description
Delicious and soft gluten free sugar cookies topped with creamy frosting and sprinkles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened/room temperature)
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup sour cream or greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups gluten free all purpose baking flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature, for frosting)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt (for frosting)
- Food coloring (optional)
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter, white sugar and brown sugar and cream together for about 30 seconds.
- Add in the remaining wet ingredients and beat to combine.
- Add in the dry ingredients, making sure to spoon and level, don’t scoop from the bag.
- Mix to combine.
- Use a medium cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons) and scoop onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie.
- The cookies are pretty thick, so if you want them thinner, you can flatten the tops before baking.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are just barely golden brown.
- As soon as they come out of the oven, use a round cookie cutter to swivel around the edges to create perfect circles.
- Let cool on the cookie sheet for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting. Beat the butter for about 1 full minute until fluffy.
- Add in the powdered sugar, followed by the vanilla, salt and heavy cream. You can add more heavy cream as needed.
- Divide into two or three bowls to dye green or red, or just leave as is!
- Frost each cookie, then top with sprinkles and enjoy!
Notes
- For a thinner cookie, flatten the dough before baking.
- Using a round cookie cutter after baking helps achieve perfect shapes.
