Valentine’s Day Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

• ½ cup dairy-free butter
• ⅓ cup caster sugar
• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• Optional toppings: fondant, sprinkles, or any other preferred decorations

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the dairy-free butter and caster sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
3. Gradually add the gluten-free flour to the mixture, continuing to mix until the dough begins to crumble. Turn off the mixer and use your hands to knead the dough into a smooth ball.
4. Wrap the dough in cling wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll and cut into shapes. Or, you may form the dough into individual cookies with your hands and place them directly on the baking tray.
5. After chilling, if using cookie cutters, remove the dough from the fridge. Roll it out on a silicone mat or clean surface to an even thickness. Use your desired cookie cutters to shape the dough, then transfer the cut shapes onto the prepared baking tray.
6. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown.
7. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, decorate with your choice of toppings or fondant
