Gluten Free Soft Frosted Sugar Cookies

Soft, pillowy, and topped with a cloud of buttery vanilla frosting — these are the kind of cookies that disappear fast at any gathering, and this batch makes a generous 24. The secret to their tender texture is a combination of sour cream and softened butter in the dough, which keeps every bite moist and rich without relying on wheat flour. A gluten free flour blend steps in seamlessly, and chilling the dough before baking ensures the cookies hold their shape and bake up with those perfectly set edges. One of the biggest frustrations with store-bought frosted sugar cookies is never quite knowing what's in them, so making your own from scratch puts you fully in control of every ingredient. The frosting itself is a simple whipped butter and powdered sugar situation spiked with vanilla, and it spreads beautifully — add food coloring to match any occasion or pile on the sprinkles for extra fun. These are genuinely crowd-pleasing cookies that no one will guess are made without traditional flour, which makes them perfect for sharing at parties, holidays, or school events.
