Gluten-free Christmas Cookie Recipe for runners
These are the ingredients you’ll need for the Christmas cookies:
- Gluten-Free Flour – I recommend using high-quality 1:1 gluten-free baking flour (I normally use Bob’s red Mill 1:1 GF flour). Be sure it contains xanthan gum.
- Buttermilk – If you need a substitute, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar to a cup of regular or non-dairy milk.
- Colorful sprinkles
First, you’ll start by making the dough…
- Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl and set them aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar at high speed in the bowl of a stand mixer. If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can use a handheld mixer.
- To whip air into the butter for fluffy, soft cookies, you’ll need to blend for at least 5 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Be sure that the egg is fully incorporated before you add the dry ingredients.
- Incorporate the dry ingredients.
Next: Make the Cookies
- Add sprinkles or mix-ins of choice. If you want to use nuts or other large mix-ins, limit them to ½ cup or less total.
- Form cookies in the size of your choice
- Chill the dough for at least 2 hours before baking.
