Hoppy Easter

I started to make bunny sugar cookies for an Easter potluck when I realized I didn't have enough sugar.  Instead of panicking or making something else (or venturing to a neighbor's house to ask for sugar... how cliché), I improvised and ended up making some darn delicious cookies!!!  I'm not usually a big fan of sugar cookies, but these beauties are festive and yummy.

Gluten Free Multiple Sugars Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Dry Ingredients
3½ cup  Gluten Free Flour (I used Cup4Cup)
½ tsp      salt
1 tsp      baking powder
¾ tsp     xantham gum

Whisk together dry ingredients and set aside.

Wet Ingredients
1 cup     cold, cubed butter
½ cup     granulated sugar
½ cup     powdered sugar
1             large egg
1 Tbsp   vanilla extract

In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugars.  Add egg and vanilla and mix until combined.

Add dry mixture 1 cup at a time on low speed.

Once combined, form batter into a ball.  Roll between two sheets of parchment paper lightly floured with Gluten Free Flour.  Cut with cookie cutter(s) of choice (don’t be boring).  If you’re using sprinkles or sanding sugar, decorate before putting in the oven. 

Bake for approx. 14 minutes (or until they start to get golden around the edges).  If decorating with frosting, allow cookies to cool on cooling rack then decorate away!

Enjoy!
