Ingredients

24 servings

For the cookies

2 ½ cups gluten free flour blend
Just About Foods Organic All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
Premium Gold Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour, 5 lbs
See all
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp xanthan gum (omit if your flour blend already contains it)
½ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
1 large egg
⅓ cup sour cream
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

For the frosting

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
Chef's tip
Follow the package's conversion to powdered sugar. In frosting or glaze, add liquid gradually - replacements can absorb it differently.
2 tbsp milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods. For hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
gel food coloring, any color (optional)
