  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit

  • Add flour, 1 cup at a time & fold into the mixture

  • Use cookie cutters to make shapes, place on a baking sheet & bake in the oven for 10 – 15 minutes
  • Let cool and then top with frosting, crushed candy canes and optional unsweetened shredded coconut!

Notes

The dough will seem too crumbly at first, which I find common when baking gluten-free. So don't worry like I normally do! It will all work out, just stick with it!
Form the dough into a ball & then on a floured surface & with flour on your rolling pin roll out the dough. The dough is delicate so I found it best to transfer the raw cookie dough shapes from surface to baking sheet with a spatula.
This recipe creates 24 light, crispy, sugar cookies!
