Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups gluten free flour blend * see note
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, add all of the dry ingredients. Whisk with a wire whisk to blend them together.
  • In a smaller bowl, add the wet ingredients. Whisk to mix well.
  • Note you can also use a stand mixer if you prefer.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix into a nice cookie dough.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350º F.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to ¼ inch thickness. You can roll it on a silicone mat or wax paper.
  • Use cookie cutters and place the cut out cookie shapes onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 10 minutes (more or less, depending on the size of the cookies.)
  • Remove to a wire rack for cooling.

Notes

  1. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend. That doesn't mean others will not work; I just have not tested other flours. Note with Bob's 1:1, you may need a little more flour.
  2. If your blend doesn't contain xanthan or guar gum, add one teaspoon.
  3. Store in an airtight container.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
