Ingredients
2 ¾cupgluten free flour (I use Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour)
½teaspoonbaking powder
¼teaspoonsalt
1cupunsalted butterroom temperature
¾cupgranulated sugar
1tablespoonBob's Red Mill Egg Replacer mixed with 2 tablespoon water
1tablespoonvanilla extract
Instructions
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until fully combined. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar together until combined. Add egg replacer and vanilla. Lower the speed on the mixer and slowly add in the flour mixture while continuing to mix.
Use your hands to split the dough into two large rounds. Place each round between two sheets of parchment paper and roll with a rolling pin until each is about ¼ inch thick. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into desired shapes, then place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Chill in refrigerator for another 20 minutes.
Bake cookies for 11-12 minutes. Let cool on sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before decorating.
Notes
Be sure to follow the instructions on the package of Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer. Once mixed with water, the egg replacer must sit for just a few minutes to thicken.
If you are not looking to replace eggs, feel free to use 1 egg instead of the egg replacer.
As you can see in my photos, I use fairly large cookie cutters. This recipe always yields right around 16 cookies for me, but this will vary based on the size and shapes you are cutting.
