I have been so excited to share this recipe with you in time for the holidays. These are the gluten-free cookies you will want to make for family and friends! My grandmother used to love making cookies. At the time, I was too young to appreciate these cookies other than to eat them :-). Now that I make these cookies for my family, I appreciate all of the love that goes into them.

“If you have been looking for that special new gluten-free cookie recipe to make, this recipe is for you!!”

In my family’s homemade butter cookie recipe, better butter matters!! If you haven’t tried Plugrá® Butter yet, I highly encourage you to head over to Safeway and pick some up. Plugrá® Butter is slowly churned, making it creamier than regular butters. This butter is freshly crafted from American cow’s milk without any artificial ingredients or added hormones.

Plugrá® Butter has a higher fat content than regular butter, which means this butter makes better pie crusts, flavorful sauces, and buttery cookies.

How to make gluten-free butter cookies:

First, add your dry ingredients to the bowl. Use a whisk to mix.

Add the wet ingredients into a bowl and whisk. Can you believe how creamy this butter is??

Pour your wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix.

Can you use a standing mixer to mix the ingredients?

Yes, you can definitely use your standing mixer if you prefer. Add your wet ingredients to the standing mixer and mix on low speed. Slowly add the dry ingredients. Once the dry ingredients are mixed in, turn the speed up to medium and mix for 30 seconds.

Now we get to pipe the cookie dough into the cute circles.

Add your batter to a pastry bag with the shape of the piping tip I show above. You can use other tips, but if you want the texture to your gluten-free butter cookies, use a tip with cut zig-zag edges.

You can use a macaron mat or my parchment paper cheat. Check it out below!

How do you get your cookies to be all the same size?

There are two great ways to ensure your cookies all turn out the same size. The first way is to take a small glass and trace circles around the bottom in rows all along with a piece of parchment paper.

(You can also use a silicon macron mat that has the circles pre-drawn.) To avoid getting ink on the cookies, turn the parchment paper over.

Grab your pastry bag with cookie dough. Pipe the cookie dough along with the circle shapes. Do this until you fill all of the circles with cookie dough.

Bake your cookies at 350F degrees for 8-10 minutes until the cookies are just slightly golden. Remove onto a cooling rack.

As the cookies are cooling, add your melting chocolate to a microwave-safe dish and melt. I like to melt for 10-15 second increments to avoid the chocolate burning. Stir the chocolate between each time increment.

What melting chocolate is best for dipping these gluten-free butter cookies into?

Safeway sells a few different chocolates that you can melt for this recipe. I like melting wafers best, but other chocolate chips also work well.

Dip your cookies halfway into the chocolate and sprinkle with colorful sprinkles. Safeway has a great assortment of sprinkles so you can choose from lots of shapes and colors!
