Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies Delight.
Step 1
To start your delightful cookie adventure, grab a mixing bowl and whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until everything is nicely blended.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together white sugar, softened butter, and a splash of vanilla extract.
Step 3
Beat this mixture for about 3 to 4 minutes until it becomes wonderfully creamy and inviting.
Step 4
Next, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to beat well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and luscious.
Step 5
Now, itās time to gradually incorporate the flour mixture into your creamy concoction until a soft dough forms.
Step 6
Once your dough is ready, shape it into a ball, wrap it snugly in plastic wrap, and pop it in the refrigerator for about an hour.
Step 7
This step is crucial as it helps the dough firm up, making it easier to work with.
Step 8
While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 325Ā°F (165Ā°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to ensure your cookies bake evenly.
Step 9
After the hour has passed, take your chilled dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface.
Step 10
Use your favorite cookie cutters to create fun shapes, and place the cutouts on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 11
Bake these delightful cookies in your preheated oven for around 10 minutes, or until the edges start to turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 12
Remember to switch the baking sheets halfway through to ensure even baking.
Step 13
Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Step 14
This cooling process should take about 8 to 10 minutes, allowing the cookies to set perfectly.
Step 15
While they cool, letās whip up a delicious icing! In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, butter, and a splash of vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
Step 16
Gradually add confectioners' sugar, continuing to beat until your icing is smooth and creamy.
Step 17
Once your cookies have cooled completely, itās time for the fun partāspreading that luscious icing on top! Enjoy the process and the delightful treats youāve created.
Step 18
These cookies are sure to bring smiles to everyone who tries them!.
