Steps:
- In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter on medium-low speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. With mixer running, slowly sprinkle in sugar and salt; continue beating until fluffy, 2 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low and add flour in two additions, beating just until incorporated. Finish mixing with a rubber spatula to avoid overworking dough. Turn dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Shape into a 5-inch square, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm but still pliable, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place dough between two sheets of lightly floured parchment and roll out 1/4 inch thick. Freeze 15 minutes. Using star cookie cutters (anywhere from 1- to 4-inch), cut out stars. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets, spaced 1 inch apart. Freeze 30 minutes. Bake, rotating pans halfway through, until pale golden brown around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks and let cool completely.
- Transfer royal icing to a pastry bag fitted with a coupler and a very narrow tip. Pipe icing onto cookies, either outlining or filling in with icing using a toothpick or small food-safe paintbrush. Decorate with sprinkles. Let stand until icing sets, at least 1 hour.

GLUTEN-FREE HAMANTASCHEN - SUGAR-FREE [ PURIM COOKIES ]
This is a recipe for gluten-free, cane-sugar-free hamantaschen. They don't have a hard sugar-cookie consistency; Rather, they are more like soft, cakey pastries. Delicious! I filled half of my hamantaschen with no-sugar-added apricot preserves. The other half I filled with lekvar, a puree of dried prunes that have been softened in boiling water. You can buy canned lekvar, which has sugar or corn syrup in it, or you can try making it yourself using a traditional recipe but omitting or replacing the sugar. This recipe has no refined sugars. It uses agave nectar, which is one of the least refined sweeteners available. Though it naturally contains fructose, it is much lower on the glycemic index (GI) than other natural sweeteners, which can makes it more suitable for some diabetics, sugar-sensitive people, low-carbers, and hypoglycemics.

Steps:
- With an electric hand mixer, or in the bowl of a standing mixer, cream the butter or margarine with the agave nectar. Add the unbeaten egg, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla and continue combining. In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
- Slowly add the dry mixture into the liquid mixture. Mix until combined into a cohesive ball of dough. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
- Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Flour a counter or other surface thoroughly. Remove dough from refrigerator and immediately roll into a ball and roll the ball in flour before placing it on the floured counter. Roll out until 1/4" to 1/8" thickness. Using a juice glass or biscuit cutter, cut into 3-4" circles. Immediately move dough circles to parchment-lined cookie sheets. If the dough begins to stick to the counter, use a pastry scraper to gently transfer the disks of dough.
- Place approximately 1 teaspoon of filling (apricot preserves, lekvar, poppyseed filling, raspberry jam, etc) in the center of each circle. Using a pastry brush, apply well-beaten egg to the perimeter of each dough circle and immediately fold 3 sides of circle together so that the cookie becomes a triangle, and pinch corners to seal. Seal completely and firmly, using beaten egg so they do not come apart in baking. If you have trouble sealing the corners, try folding them over a bit. The final cookie should look like a triangle with the filling showing through only at the center.
- Use the remaining beaten egg to lightly brush the top of each pastry.
- Bake at 350 F for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden on top but not overly browned on the bottom (lift one cookie up after 12 minutes to make sure the bottom hasn't become dark brown). Let cool slightly before serving or transferring to cooling rack.

GLUTEN-FREE SUGAR COOKIES
These sugar cookies are the chewiest you will find, and they're gluten free to boot! Rather than subbing all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend, we used instant pudding mix (and rice and coconut flours) to give these cookies their gooey texture. You can even swap out vanilla for your own favorite pudding flavor, such as chocolate or caramel. The dough is equally ideal for making large rolled cookies or cutouts, as instructed below.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. With an electric mixer on high speed, beat the butter and sugar until very light and fluffy (it will be almost white), about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium, add the egg and beat until fully incorporated, about 1 minute. Reduce the speed to low and slowly add in the pudding mix, rice flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat until the dough comes together, 1 to 2 minutes.
- For rolled cookies: Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Pinch off 12 small pieces of dough and roll each one into a ball. Roll each ball in colored sanding sugar, cocoa powder or confectioners' sugar to coat, if using. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Bake the cookies until the cookies are slightly cracked on top and lightly golden brown on the bottom, 18 to 20 minutes. Let sit on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
- For cutout cookies: Divide the dough in half and form into 2 disks. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour and up to 12 hours. Place each disk between two pieces of parchment and roll to 1/8-inch thick. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Cut out cookies into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place 2 inches apart, on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Bake until the cookies are set and lightly golden brown on the bottom, 8 to 9 minutes. Let sit on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Beat sugar, oil and apple sauce until the sugar until the sugar has disolved. You could use butter in place of the coconut oil and apple sauce but it isn't as healthy.
- Add the egg, vanilla (use gluten free), sour cream (gelatin free), and fresh lime juice and mix.
- Mix and sift together all the dry ingredients. Rice flour, xanthan, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix.
- Load a cookie press (which makes rather small cookies), and drop cookies on to an ungreased cookie sheet. If you don't have a cookie press you may want to cool the dough before dropping the cookies by spoon and press.
- Bake at 350 for 5-10 minutes remove at the first sign of browning and place on a cooling rack. Length of baking and number of servings will depend on cookie size.
- Then Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. In small bowl, mix flours, the cream of tartar, baking soda, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt; set aside.
- 2. In medium bowl, beat remaining ingredients except coarse sugar with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute or until well blended. Shape dough into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- 3. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray cookie sheet and rolling pin with cooking spray (without flour). On nonstick baking mat o cooking parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray (without flour), roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using 3- to 3 1/2 inch cookie cutter, cut shapes from dough; place 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- 4. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until set and edges are lightly browned. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
Tips:
- Chill the dough: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven. You do not want to skip this step, or you will end up with flat, shapeless cookies.
- Use parchment paper: This will help the cookies bake evenly and prevent them from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. If you are using a stand mixer, be careful not to overmix.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
These gluten-free sugar cookies are delicious and easy to make. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with your friends and family. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect gluten-free sugar cookies that are light, fluffy, and full of flavor.
