​Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Kitchen Gadgets:

Stand mixer or hand mixer
Rolling pin
Springtime cookie cutters

Parchment paper
Baking sheets
Cooling rack

In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Remove one disk of dough from the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
​
Use your springtime cookie cutters to cut out the cookies and place them onto the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the second disk of dough.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
​

Once the cookies are completely cool, it's time to decorate! Mix together a simple icing made from powdered sugar and milk, and add food coloring to create your desired color. Use piping bags or a small spoon to add the icing to the cookies, and sprinkle with sanding sugar or other decorative sprinkles.

Now that you have the perfect gluten-free sugar cookie recipe and have decorated them beautifully, it's time to enjoy them with your family and friends! These cookies are perfect for springtime gatherings or just as a sweet treat to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee.
